To reach the GZ take Mellis Road south from the Yakima Valley Highway. Access to parking area is via a gravel frontage road.
Cache is located in a Fish and Wildlife area and you will need the new Discovery Pass (or your existing WDFW permit for these areas ONLY) for this one if you're planning on using the parking lot. Parking without a permit is located very close by on West Mellis Frontage Road. This is a terrific area to hike, get some exercise and take geo-dogs for a run.
As always, use caution whenever reaching into hiding holes and it's best to carry a walking stick for such purposes. I've never seen rattlesnakes in this area but have seen gopher and ribbon snakes during the warmer months. Also either use insect repellent or check for ticks on clothing during the warmer months. There is abundant wildlife in the area so keep your eyes open and camera handy.
This cache is NOT for the weak at heart and a special tool of a "vertically unchallenged assistant cacher" might be a must for some cachers. Their is no established trail to this cache so seekers will need to do a little bushwhacking along animal trails to arrive at the GZ. There is a "step stool" nearby... but again, a tall cacher would be a plus while retrieving the container. Please replace well since this area is a good fishing spot near the Yakima River.
