:) {*FTF*} Found this quit FTF (!) cache at 12:15am. It was one of nights as I was already in bed, contemplating whether to go to sleep to get dress and go for it. Well, I guess you know what won out. TFTFSL

:) {*FTF*} @ 1:09pm. Hurray, jump for joy! I Just happen to be waiting for my wife to get her hair done at Gene Juarez nearby when this came through. How lucky can one be. KURDOGSO and SOL SEAKER showed up while I was posting my find. It's great to put names to faces. Wish i had stuck around a little longer to see goldiegg. TFTFSL

:) {*FTF*} at 12:35am. Very quiet at this time of the night. Just finished finding another FTF tonight. I guess it pays to retire. I just hope my wife doesn't get mad.

:) {*FTF*} Wow, FTF at 9:55am! But didn't think it would happen as I had to drive all the way near Dash Point State Park. I guess it pays to retire while everyone else is still working. This is definitly a girl's theme and I did leave the trackable for the first girl. BTW, Happy 4th birthday to Ava.TFTFSL (formally olsengl)

:) {*FTF*} CO-FTF with janomi (E7 in the army). I salute the US Military. I spent 4 in the navy (67-71). I just happened it be out caching when this one posted. The traffic was terrible trying to get here. When I got to gz, janomi was in his car. He hadn't found it yet. So we both started looking. He spotted it literally a second before me. TFTFSL

:) {*FTF*} Co-FTF with Lizziebathory at 12:35am. We had our traditional FTF party. Love it. This also extends my consecutive days with find to 79. Now I have to get back the wife before she thinks she has to get dressesd. TFTFSL TNLN

:) {*FTF*} Well, I guess it helps to stick around and write in your logs before driving away. I started to leave the one entrance and drove by the other. I stopped to find out if another person I spotted leaving the cache site had found it. It turned out to be the CO (cableboy, the other half is DJ'sTrek) returning to his car after repairing and returning it to its place. With his help the find was made. Actually he showed me because it wasn't there when yy's4me and were looking before. The coords are dead on. The wheelchair accessible is in question, but what a nice hide. I'm adding it to my favs. Loved talking to him. I even talked with DJ'sTrek on the phone. This extends my consecutive days with a find to 112 and my consecutive months with a FTF to 8! I'm sorry yy's4me left, but of course we did just spend an hour looking for something that wasn't there. I don't feel so bad anymore. TFTHSL

Wow, that took a while. The McMorrows joined me in the search. We bushwacked everywhere as the gps was bouncing all over the place. McMorrows finally made a call to co and got a nudge. Co-FTF, which now extends my FTFs to 9 consecutive months. I saw someone else with a gps getting out of his car as we were leaving and gave him a hint, but realised he was the co as I drove off. I would have told him that I enjoyed the container, but I had promised my wife lunch and already been gone an hour and a half. TFTHSL :) {*FTF*}

My 50TH :) {*FTF*} at 2:39pm! Had a nice talk with CO. This actually helps extend my consecutive days with a find to 168 also. As I was just about to leave, SolSeeker, yy's4me and KFamOfFariwood showed up. Got to talk shortly with everyone as my wife was in the car and this was just a "detour" of coming from Walmart and heading home. TFTCSL TNLN

I did want make something very clear. There is NO need to disrupt anything, because the cache is in plain sight. You just need keen eyes. So don't make a shambles of the area.

Got here just after sunrise about 7:45. Binita2006 joined in about 30mins later. Then FugeFinders showed up and I thought for sure he'd make the find in no time. Got a few nudges from CO. Finally, after 2 hours of searching and getting rain dropped on, binita2006 made the grab. A co-ftf. I'm glad cause that's his first FTF. This find extends my consecutive days to 196 and my consecutive months with a FTF to 11. It's great to meet new cachers. We tried getting our own Coords, but they were off as well. It's just a hard place to get steady settings. Great hide though. :) {*FTF*} TFTHSL Took TBs, but one also. Binita2006 dropped one in too.

Searched about 15mins with Shrek198 and was about to leave as I had to be at the CLink by 4:30 for ushering SoundersFC Playoff Soccer game tonight. Bibliogal then joined forces. Luckily Shrek198 made the find for a 3-way co-ftf. This is my 64th FTF and extends my consecutive months with a FTF to 12 months. TFTFSL :) {*FTF*}

The name, hints and Coords were right on. I had just gotten out of the shower and was getting dressed when this one posted. Told the wife it was only 4.4mi from home. She wished me luck and I was outta there. I was sort of surprised to find a blank log as there are several FTFers in the area. This is my 73rd :) {*FTF*} at 10:40am and my 257th consecutive day with a find. I waited around 15 mins for others to show, but they must all be working or out of town. Isn't retirement great! Took the PathTag and will log it. TFTFSL

I didn't see any posted hours, but the official internet site posted 6:00am-11:00pm. I acquired my 87th :) {*FTF*} at 7:45pm. I didn't think I'd be first there as it's a 46min\28.1mi drive, according to my gps. But had to at least try in between rain showers for a Feb FTF to keep my streak alive (15 months now). Now I can relax, maybe? I parked at the corner of SW Snoqualmie St and 57 Ave SW. There was a trail all the way except last 90ft or so. However, I did several of those blue markers you mentioned for attempting new growth, so tread lightly.

:) {*FTF*} at 11:40am. I was surprised to see this cache not logged when I checked it this morning. I'm from the Seattle area down here visiting family for a couple of days. Don't worry, I'm leaving tomorrow. My wife stayed in the locked car while my grandson and I went searching. We grabbed a FTF earlier just .1mi down the trail and started walking out when I did the checking. Image my surprise when I was almost to back to the car and noticed it was only .1mi beyond the one we just found. My wife was the one that suggested we go after this one too. I immediately noticed what to look under, so sent my grandson in to search. TFTFSL TNLN

Co-FTF with FugeFinders and Looky_Lupios. Was in Tacoma getting a 4th to find when this published. When I got to trailhead, there was a car with someone just sitting there, so I figured I was late for this one also. On the trail in get a ping on my phone, so thought it was the posting of this guy in his car. However, it turns out to be FugeFinders and Looky_Lupios on my tail. We joined forces, but it was easy pickings cause we saw the starting of a geotrail to gz. The CO must have just been there today or yesterday. We did find a blank log and Looky_Lupios received his first FTF. Congrats! :) {*FTF*}

I was watching "Person of Interest" when this one posted. Waited a while then decided to try for it because in need a FTF this to extend my consecutive months to 18. While in route, I saw Shrek198 post that it was too late at night cause he had to work in the morning. Man, I love retirement. Got to gz and tried looking for a parking spot. They are hard to come by even at night. Then I thought where it might be. Bingo, a blank log at 23:02 and nobody to bother me. Coords were about 50ft off. Stuck around for a while, but nobody showed up. Anyway, TFTHSL :) {*FTF*}

I was told about this cache by FugeFinders before my phone was even notified. :) {*FTF*} @ 21:41. While there, a car approached and I was ready to greet a fellow cacher. But no, it was the Tacoma Police. He said they had had some problems with drug deals at roads end. He thought I was taking pictures because he saw my flash go off. He had heard of geocaching but still stuck around after I left. This FTF extends my monthly finds to 19. I waited around for a while but nobody else arrived. TFTFSL
