Skookum Bear: As the cache owner has not indicated that they have visited the cache location to replace it if it was missing, perform needed maintenance, or verify that it is still there within a reasonable amount of time, I am regretfully archiving the cache to clear it from the active cache database and open the area to new caching opportunities. If the cache owner would like to replace a cache at this location, please submit a new geocache listing and it will be reviewed under the current Geocaching guidelines.

Please do not respond to this note by sending an email reply - your response will go to an unmonitored location and disappear into the ether instead of being sent to me. If you need to contact me regarding this cache, please do so using the link on my Profile Page

Geocache Description:

Many dogs take their owners through these upper Sahali trails. Kid-friendly, but not stroller friendly, it's a nice hike with a nearby school playground!

I am still in shock as to the devastation from the pine-beetle. On this hike, I got to see some left-overs of what used to be here; large pine stumps, surrounded by a blanket of dried-out pine needles and the wood-chips remain from the workers who cleaned out the dead pine trees. Just really sad... wish there was something we could do.

While both myself and the Overwelms clan set-up this cache, it will be maintained exclusively by Overwelms as they are local and I must return to Virginia!

Happy Trails!!
