Dear Geocachers,
This is to inform you that the Olympic Peninsula GeoTour is coming to an end.
The last day the caches will be available is January 1, 2022. As of 1/2/22 our GeoTour will be a thing of the past. Thank you to everyone who has made this so much fun over the years.
If you have started a Passport, but have not completed it, please send it to us by January 20, 2022 in its current state to:
OPVB PO Box 670 Port Angeles, WA 98362
As long as we have coins, we will honor incomplete passports. Again, thank you. Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission
High atop a bluff on Marrowstone Island, Fort Flagler was once a critical component of the Triangle of Fire, built to protect the entrance to Puget Sound from possible invasion by sea during the turn of the century (1897–1953). Many historic buildings still remain at this 19th–century-established military fort, and visitors today may explore the military museum or enjoy seasonal guided tours of the gun emplacements and 1905 military hospital. Now a state park, Fort Flagler is surrounded on three sides by over 19,000 feet of saltwater shoreline. It’s an outdoor enthusiast’s dream, with five miles of hiking or biking trails, two miles of beach trail, camping facilities, boat launch, picnicking, and some of the most spectacular views of the Olympic and Cascade Mountains to be found. Be sure to keep a keen eye out for the eagles!
There is some refurbishing of the buildings at this time. If you need direct instructions, look at the hint as the cache was moved a bit during construction. If the fence around the building is gone, good luck and have fun!
A Washington State Discover Pass is required to park in all Washington State Parks. A disabled parking placard grants free access to Washington State Parks and disabled parking areas within the Parks.
