tumbleweed2: Kennewick Woman's Picnic area has been totally destroyed to make way for construction of some kind, so she is going to shut down her Picnic. Sorry if you didn't get to come and share her "finger Foods."

There was a lot of Whoop-de-Do when Kennewick Man's skeleton was discovered along the shoreline of the Columbia River in Columbia Park in 1996. But did you know that his wife, Kennewick Woman, had prepared a Picnic lunch for him and was patiently waiting for him to come to supper? In fact, she is still waiting today.
Why don't you come and join her on a Picnic? She is serving finger food.
This is a 6 stage multi, all stages within a short walking distance of each other. It should take less than an hour to complete, maybe even less than 30 minutes, so it'll be a Quick Pick......nik.
To find the pre-final, put the numbers you find at stages 1-4 in the following formula for the final coordinates. Pre-Final: N46° A.B W 119° C.D
Stage 1=A, the posted coordinates: Stage 2=B : Stage 3=C: Stage 4=D:
Please replace as you found it, to keep the ants & elements out. I know it's a picnic, but the ants aren't invited!
Beware: Someone has been feeding a feral cat (my cache guard) very near this cache, so be alert to muggles in the area, and re-hide & cover the final well, please.
update 8-14-08 Due to muggles removing the cache, this is now a 6 stage multi. Final coords will be given at stage 5 location. Picnic basket has been re-stocked and is ready for your visit.
update 9-11-11 Stage A keeps going missing, so I will just give you that number. A=1
