Geocache Description:

My first hide in Kitsap County. Grew up nearby and my parents have lived in the same house for nearly 55 years.

When I was a kid, the Sherman Hill-Hallman Rd-Viking Way loop was my newspaper route. I did the route counterclockwise, so this hill was quite a challenge to go up on my one-speed bike. Got the o' legs ready for football though. Quite a rush as I came down from the top of Sherman Hill and rounded the corner onto Hallman Road. Used to be a Doberman at that corner that would try to get me every day. He'd hit the end of his leash and I would laugh as I rode past. One day he broke the leash and chased me for over a mile. Good thing I was just fast enough on the bike to outrun him, so I still got the last laugh. I did get bit by three other dogs though during the couple of years I did the route. Container is a camo'd lock 'n lock. Not much room to pull off here.

Congrats to steve & renee and tupelo916 for the Co-FTF!
