This series, which follows the BPA right of way in Renton, honors local cachers for whom I have gotten to know and have done a lot for the Geocaching community as well as for the WSGA.
To introduce you to Terrible Ts and to point out why I think they are most worthy of a cache, I would like to tell you a few things about Terrible Ts. First off, Terrible Ts consists of the caching team of Jim, Frankie and their newest caching member, Mickey a cute puppy they recently adopted with a broken leg! Adopting an injured puppy truly shows TT's personality. They are tireless WSGA volunteers who have helped me out at WSGA events and community reach out events. They are quick to help out whenever asked and are always there when needed. They are also avid FTFers so if you have ever made an FTF run in the Auburn, Kent and Renton area, you may have likely met Terrible Ts at an FTF party.
Terrible Ts has put out a number of caches as well as a few cache events. Dead Beetle (GC1MAG6, an interesting hide on an old discarded beetle), The Slingshot Tree (GC2C2K6, an interesting multi that involves a very unique tree and a little projecting of coordinates), and Old Panther Lake Elementary School (GC28K9V, another multi involving a really cool mural painted on a mothballed elementary school) are a couple of fine examples of caches TTs have put out. Terrible Ts has also organized a couple of caching events that were absolutely a blast. TT organized the fun "Paddle Day 2011" event back on 8/28/11 where the caching group rented canoes at the UW and paddled around Lake Washington near the UW to grab many paddle caches. TT also arranged the "Lets Go To Monte Cristo" event that was on 9/17/11. The group got to hike up to Monte Cristo, a ghost town up off of the Mountain Loop Highway east of Granite Falls. Despite the not so good weather, the caching group had an outstanding time.
So to honor another local cacher who has done so much for the caching community, I will honor Terrible T's with their very own cache!
The cache container is pretty unique. I made this one myself. This cache is unique to the cacher being honored as I have tried to do with this series. The cache has several access points. Do check them out. As always with my PLTOF series, FTF hounds please allow the honoree a shot at getting FTF.
As with all of my caches, I take the time to put attributes on the cache pages. On this cache page, note that this is not a 24/7 cache specifically, its not recommended at night tag. IF you attempt this one at night, BE WARNED! The gates get locked at night and you could be trapped and stuck behind the gates. Therefore, I am not recommending doing this one at night. If you do, you are on your own.
CONGRATS FOR THE FTF GOES TO THE MCMORROW CLAN!
