This is a series we’ve named “SPIRIT RUN” to help geocachers (both tourists and locals) further enjoy their trip along Spirit Lake Memorial Highway to our beautiful Mount St. Helens … and along the way to “RUN UP (your) NUMBERS” of geocaches you’ve found. A recent look at the geocache map showed a sad lack of caches along this scenic highway … and we decided we needed to change that!
For the most part, the geocaches are quick ”grab-sign-and-be- on- your- way” finds. But we’ve also tried to provide some variety with ammo cans, micros, magnetics, Tupperwares and a couple of “head-scratchers” to add a little bit of challenge. All of the geocaches are easily accessed from Spirit Lake Memorial Highway, all provide safe parking and only one necessitates keeping a close eye on the kiddos.
We hope you enjoy the caches … and be watching for more in the near future.
2502 pounds of elk poop! Not really ... the number is a location hint.
While scoping out this area as a potential geocache site, Fancy Free commented on the number of piles of elk droppings on the hillside, obvious signs that the magnificent critters frequent the area, but most likely not when we muggles are around. Anyway, you’ve been warned: Watch your step.
Parking is just off the highway on a safe pull-out at the beginning of a Weyerhaeser Co. road. You are looking for ammo can, so there’s lots of room for tradin’ trinkets.
