I found the original Clay Street Cache, GC6E54, in December of 2004. The cache's descriptive text was short and to the point --
This cache is located in Oysterville, WA, a historic town on the Long Beach Peninsula. Very easy terrain with an altitude of about 3 inches above sea level and sometime slightly below sealevel during the winter. Clay street is no longer for use by cars. Park on the pavement and walk east down the grassy lane across from the Church.
My log entry from that date --
Found this cache in a beautiful spot just as the full moon was coming up over the horizon. I had to sit on the bench and just enjoy the peaceful evening for a few minutes. It must be an interesting place to live in such a small town.
That caching trip was my first time visiting the Long Beach Peninsula, and I returned often after that first visit, enjoying the beauty and tranquility of this corner of the world. When I had the opportunity to sell my house and choose a new place to relocate in the fall of 2014, this was my choice...all due to that special evening years ago, sitting on a rustic bench with a cache in hand and my beloved golden retriever by my side, watching the moon rise.
