This is a 4-stage multi along an old unused canal. We've rated it as a 4 due to the number of stages and the 'sneakiness' of the 3rd stage. The round trip is a level walk of about a mile.
Tweezers may be helpful.
This path follows an old irrigation canal above a farmer's field and marshes along the Yakima river. This place is best to visit in the spring when many varieties of birds come to hang out and sing in the trees.
The "Ye Ol' Canal" name is in part a tribute to "Ye Ol' Imposter", one of the patriarchs of geocaching in the Richland area. It was our good fortune to meet Ye Ol' Imposter within a few weeks of finding our first cache because he told us about GSAK (geocaching swiss army knife) and paperless caching. We have commented many times since then how glad we were to have met him so early on in our caching 'addiction' since we use GASK all the time.
The containers in this series are all different with the first 3 being micros that contain coordinates for the next stage. Watch your step and children around the edge and the gaps in the concrete at the 3rd stage.
Please don't place anything with scent (such as hand lotion or soap) in the final cache because there are quite a few coyotes that live around the nearby fields and they will drag the cache off and chew it up to get to the 'smell good' stuff inside.
Of course we have included a nice goodie for the FTF. Good luck and have fun!
