Geocache Description:

Series accomplished! Continue down the switchbacks to the river - head downstream to return to your starting point. The reception is pretty bad here, so please note that you are looking for a set of stairs that you will be going down if you have done the series in order. You will descend several steps, then come to a landing, then there will be several more stairs as part of the same structure. The structure passes between two large stumps. For even more info, see the hint!

This series of caches will take you along the upper section of the Lynn Loop trail in the Headwaters. I would suggest doing the series from 1 - 10 rather than the reverse - the switchbacks at the end are best done with gravity rather than against it! Once you reach the end of the series, return to the parking lot along the river - or head upriver to collect a few more caches. Reception is poor along the entire trail due to very heavy tree cover, so the hints are very specific. Allow a couple of hours to do the entire loop.
