Is it a Plane or a
Paddle?
Note: You
can not get to this cache from dry land!
Is it a bird, is it a plane, is it a paddle? It might be a
little bit of all of them. This funny spot marks the southern
end of Lake Washington where it empties into the Cedar River. As a
confluence it attracts a lot attention - sand,
rock, driftwood, boaters, birds, fishermen, and even
airplanes...
The location is near the end of runway of the Renton airport - home
of many private planes and the launching point for newly
constructed Boeing 737s. Take a little time to paddle among
nature, observe the confluence, and maybe witness a little of what
has made Seattle the "Jet City."
Cache: A small,
silver, micro.
Portage: Minimal to
none. You can launch at the waterline
at the ramp listed.
Access: Tricky.
The water is shallow, the snags are all over the place, and
it will likely take you several attempts to figure out the best way
in. Folks with very shallow drafting boats will be able to
get right up to it, others may need to get a little wet.
Paddle on!
