The Skagit Project #2 - Strawberry Traditional Cache
The Skagit Project #2 - Strawberry
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
The Skagit
project consists of 6 separate caches which each hold a clue
to the final cache.
Each cache is a
small cammoed tupperware container with small trade items
which relate to fishing and the great outdoors.
This project covers an area from Silver Lake to Ross Lake. This
series is designed to bring you to this unique place where the
Skagit River flows south and the Silver Hope Creek flows north in
the same valley. Here you will see abundant and diverse wildlife
and plantlife as well as stunning scenic views.
The Skagit Project caches can be found individually as each has a
logbook, but if you plan to do the final, you will need to find all
6 caches in any order. Under the lid of each cache are part of the
coordinates to the final cache. You will need to write these down.
There is a first to finish certificate in the final.
These meadows provide habitat for many
species of wildlife including the Western Red Bat. One of the
rarest bats in the province, it is found only in forested habitat
along rivers of the Skagit and Okanagan valleys.
The Skagit Environmental Endowment Commission (S.E.E.C.) is a
legacy of the International Agreement. Created by the city of
Seattle and the Province of British Columbia, S.E.E.C.'s mandate is
to fund research, education and recreational projects in the upper
Skagit watershed. It is with S.E.E.C.'s help that these bats have
been studied and their habitat preserved.
In the summer months you can enjoy an amphitheater with slide
shows of the Western Red Bat and other valley wildlife at Ross Lake
campground.
