Geocache Description:

Access to caches along this beautiful section of Goose Cr. is only available from 2 points in Falls Cr. E. access (Barkley's favorite) is reached by parking at the E. parking coordinate on Ridge Top Ct and walking 200' to MSD access stairs (TH coordinate). Go down the stairs, then down the concrete sluice to the trail along the creek. W. access is from the turnout on Falls Creek Rd. and MSD access rd. There is no access from Hills and Dales Mt. Ranier Dr. Do not go through any yards.

Barkley was the Best Dog Ever. A former Metro Narcotics dog, he came to us by way of Golden Retriever Rescue (GRRAND) following the onset of epilepsy. He knew that Halloween decorations are meant to be growled at. He knew that it is nothing short of dishonorable to greet a human without a toy in your mouth. He knew that absent-minded humans will get themselves wet unless you guide them away from newly-sprinkled damp sidewalks. He developed multi-variable correlations for the likelihood of walks. When Barkley wanted to rough house with one of his favorite toys, he would place it carefully on the grass, rip huge divots from the turf surrounding the toy, then take his treasured fleece-and-fiberfill back inside in pristine condition. He awakened his family at 8:04 each morning by seeking out the largest shoe available and dropping in on the floor, because (despite his name) barking was an activity for lesser canines. He recognized the importance of going directly to your bed and cleaning your paws when coming inside on a rainy day. After 12 years of calmly loving every person with whom he came in contact, he crossed the rainbow bridge.

Swag is intended for the first dog to find the cache.
