Geocache Description:

This should be a fairly quick find.  If parking on the highway, be sure to pull off completely, as traffic can be heavy at times, especially when the ferries are running.  The cache is a camoed plastic jar with room for some small swag and contains a travel bug for the first to find..


When the 3 young McLeods were much younger, we sometimes played our own version of Pooh Sticks at this spot.  Because of the heavy traffic at times, someone stood watch on the other side of the road to determine the winner.  For those who are not familiar with the Winnie-the-Pooh stories, here is a link to a site describing the game:

The U.K. National Trust even hosts competitions and, in 2014, included Pooh Sticks on their list of 50 things to do before you are 11&3/4:

The slope is a bit steep here, so watch your footing, especially in wet or icy conditions.
