Over the slough and through the marsh... Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

jherrith: Darn it anyway...I heard back from the Bellevue parks department about the location of the cache. In the name of preserving the environment, I decided to remove this cache from its current location. I will find a more environment friendly spot for this cache at a later time.

Geocache Description:

This is my first attempt at hiding a cache. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

This is a multicache that should take you 1-2 hours total time to find. (of course, those are my estimates) The first cache is a large vitamin bottle that is painted green. Inside is a decoder key. Write down the sequence of characters and put the cache back where it was hidden before continuing on. The actual cache is a green fishing box. The path to the cache location can be a little bit mushy in places, so be prepared. Sign the logbook and take your picture. Original contents of the cache: pliers utility knife, pocket knife, hacky sack, golf ball, silly putty bouncy ball, figure, fish zooball, toucan zooball, dice, chucky cheese tokens and the Geocoin #027. Take a treasure, but make sure you leave one.

1. Park your car here: [N47 34.937 W122 11.221]

2. To start your quest, I suggest that you ignore the path to be Old McDonald's guest.

3. You'll come to a sign that you need to read to help you decode the coordinates of number 3. I'll give you a hint, I'll give you a clue, the sign talks of loops, trails, beaches, castles and avenues (ABCDEFG). Follow the arrows they will lead you on your way, over the bridge and along the freeway. At the end of the way, find the sign that talks about trails, beaches, belles and greenways (LMNOPQ). You now have what you need, to find the first cache with the decoder key. [N47 PD.GLN W122 EM.LMN]

4. The decoder key (ABCDEFGHIJK) will help you to find the location of the path to the cache we all have in mind: [N47 JC.FJL W122 KK.JBK]

5. Once you find the key, head east, then continue following the paved trail that leads to the fields of Beauty and the Beast.

6. Which way to go next? Have a seat and take a rest before you continue on your quest.

7. One more sign to read and don't get a splinter, it talks of a farm, a bridge and winter. (XYZ)

8. Go down the grassy path to tower 3 and find the clue (PQRSTUVW) to decode the rest of the key [N47 PY.TZG W122 QU.XZD]
