Geocache Description:

We placed this 4th cache in our Song Series of caches in "The Big Timber", an area where my family has camped/hunted/hiked for generations. GZ has since grown up, but the Geocache is placed in the spot where my grandpa would back in a camp trailer. Our families would fill the area all the way up this now significantly shortened road with their camp trailers and old school canvas wall tents, complete with stoves.


Directions:
From US HWY 101 turn west onto the Skokomish Valley Road (6 miles north of Shelton and 7 miles south of Hoodsport). Drive west on the Skokomish Valley Road from the George Adams Fish Hatchery for about 5 miles to FS Road #23. Turn right onto FS Road #23 and drive 9 miles to FS Road #2353. Veer right onto FS Road #2353 and drive approximately 3/4 mile to the South Fork Skokomish River Bridge. Cross the bridge and turn right, leading you to Brown Creek Campground. Proceed through Brown Creek Campground to the next bridge located at the end of the campground. From this bridge continue for 3.9 miles. The cache is located on the spur road #360 on the left. Park here. Pause and let the GPS settle down, as GPS/signal is poor due to the cache being in "The Big Timber". The cache is located about 200' down this spur road #360. Give your GPS a large berth. There are different ways to get to and from the "The Big Timber" but, if you are unfamiliar with this area, please return the way you came. Please replace the cache exactly as found. There is a prize for FTF.

CONGRATS to Bluecanoe for FTF! WOOT WOOT!
