So ends the tale of the Lighthouses of Puget Sound.
They had a varied history, but today most of them are now
automatic and no keeper is required. It was fun to read about them
and when I was sailing on the Puget Sound I sailed past many of
them. In order to find this cache you must find the other caches in
this series.

Inside of each
of the six caches will be co-ordinate information needed to find
this cache. Bring paper and pen as you seek the other caches
so you can record the information.
Most of the way to the cache is on logging roads or dirt paths.
The last 20-100 feet are off trail. There are some moderate
elevation changes, up to 400 feet. The forest floor can be mushy
and soft. There is no serious bush whacking needed. Expect poor GPS
reception under the tree cover, the caches are not cleverly hidden
but are camo painted and not visible from the path.
The way to the cache does not require heavy bushwhacking. You
might need to walk through some knee high low brush. If you are
going to do heavy bushwhacking, perhaps going a bit farther down
the trail will reveal an easy way in.
A clever person will know the route to take. Expect a 3-4 mile
walk.
A paper map of the trails can be found here.
