Geocache Description:


This event is a Meet 'n' Greet--have some breakfast, meet other cachers, trade caching stories and TBs. We've had so much fun at the other Pokey Plodders events that we want to do it again and meet more people! We're holding it nice and early so that afterwards you can do your usual activities--gardening, housework, shopping, maybe even grab a cache or two before the rest of the family is out of bed! There are some great caches in the area, and there will surely be people who want to pokey plod after them!

New cachers are especially welcome--come on out and play with us!

Who: Anyone who wants to come and share caching stories, coins and travel bugs with us. Come meet new and "old" cachers, ask questions about challenge caches, get recommendations for interesting caches, and find out about fun caches for kids--maybe find someone to go along on your next caching expedition!

What to Bring: Your favorite breakfast beverage, maybe something to share, your TBs and coins to share and trade, your best caching stories and photos.

When: Saturday,October 18, 2008, 8-9:30 am. Make sure to sign the event logbook.

Where: Wallace Falls State Park
Take US Highway 2 12 miles east from Monroe or 43 miles west from the summit of Stevens Pass to the town of Gold Bar. Once in Gold Bar, follow the signs two miles northeast to the park.
The Wallace Falls State Park Management Area is a 4,735-acre camping park with shoreline on the Wallace River, Wallace Lake, Jay Lake, Shaw Lake and the Skykomish River. Located on the west side of the Cascade Mountains, the park features a 265-foot waterfall, old-growth coniferous forests, and fast-moving rivers and streams. Cougars have been sighted several times near Wallace Falls, and peregrine falcons inhabit the rock cliffs of the Index Town Wall.
The lake, falls and mounts are named "Wallace," after the name "Kwayaylsh." Joe and Sarah Kwayaylsh, members of the Skykomish tribe, were the first homesteaders in the area.
