Geocache Description:

This is the first in a series of caches with a Marx Brothers theme. It's also my first hide, in celebration of 500 finds.

This cache is between Seaside and Astoria in the 165 acre Cullaby Lake County Park, placed with the County's permission. It's a great park with lots of trails and things to explore.

There's a couple ways to get to the cache site. The first is to follow the signs and park in the main lot. There's a $3 fee, so if you're going this route you'll want to pack a picnic and make a day of it. From the main parking area you'll need to follow the gravel trail until you get close to the old race track.

If you're in a hurry there's a free parking area just south of the weigh station on 101 and about 100 feet north of Anderson Road that will get you within 1000' of the cache.

This area obviously used to be a race track but I can't find any info on it. If anybody knows its history please let me know and I'll update the page.

You will have to do a little bushwacking to get to this one, but the elk have already done most of the work - you just have to find their trail.

New container is now a regular size ammo box.

And because I don't understand the mysteries of HTML, if you click on the "User's Web Page" link up top, it'll take you to the County's Cullaby Lake webpage.
