Rock Rabbit: The cache owner is not responding to issues with this listing, so I must regretfully archive it.
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

As said great location for anyone, easy terrain, a bit of a walk on
the Olympic Trail, perhaps not good for wheel chairs. Children need
to be keep in hand due to how close to main high way at
times.
The Spanish captain Juan Perez sailed north from San Blas in 1774
with orders from Spain to claim the coast against the Russians.
Perez discovered Nootka Sound on the West shore of Vancouver Island
and traded with the natives of the Queen Charlottes. He sighted a
snow peak towering high and afar from a rock-bound coast on August
11 1774. He named it Sierra Nevada de Santa Rosalia. Four years
later Captain John Meares was the second explorer to observe the
mighty peak. He named it Mt. Olympus……and put it on the map
forever.
This is what it is says on a large sign at way ponts N 48 06.413 W
123 20.865 which is a location for parking for this cache.
On the way to this cache you can see what the Spanish Explorers saw
to your south west high above you. This is a small cache and can
hold small things. Has log and pencile.
The cache is not near the sign, so you need to bike or walk.
This cache can be found by everyone, great for children. Enjoy. If
you like please add a picture to the site, always welcomed and
enjoyed by others.
