Geocache Description:


A Place For Viewing

One of the features of Camano Island State Park is the group camp site that accommodates up to 100 people. When I think of group camping the first thing that pops to mind is boisterous singing and lively skits around the campfire. Luckily the amphitheater is near the group site.

It’s believed that the first open-air amphitheater was built by the Romans in 27 BC. The word “amphi” means "on both sides" or "around" and “theater” means "place for viewing".

Finding the cache:

  • To avoid being seen hunting for this cache you need to slip in when the amphitheater is not being used.
  • No need for your toes to leave the gravel to find the cache.
  • The container has plenty of room for small “treasure” and travel bugs. If you take a piece of treasure please leave something of equal or greater value in return. Also make sure the “treasure” you keep is not a “travel bug” (they are meant to be moved from cache to cache).
  • Please rehide the cache as well or better than when you found it.
  • It is always a good idea to have a pencil or pen with you.
  • You’ll need a Discover Pass if you plan to park within Camano Island State Park.
  • Please let me know if there are problems with either the cache or its coordinates.

Congrats to "icanquilt" and "perpulady" for sharing the First To Find bragging rights!
