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.
Parking is at the entrance of a Weyerhaeuser Road with a gate. In the unlikely event that the gate is locked, don’t worry. From the gate, the cache is a short distance … less than 500 feet. You’re looking for an ammo can that has some kid-friendly trade items. And speaking of munchkins … the nearby terrain does have a steep drop-off, so please keep an eye on the kiddos. If you see some tiny tan dots moving on the mudflow below, it’s likely elk, so you might want to pack your binoculars.
Please put the cache back exactly as you found it.
1/10/10 EDITED: Ammo can has been pilfered (whoever took it, you know who you are ... and shame on you!) Cache container is now a black painted coffee can.
