Geocache Description:

Child Suitability: « 2 » (Children may require help at the cache site.) See our [profile] for details.

This is the twelfth in our series of caches designed to share the awe-inspiring scenery and rich history of Highway 14 along the Columbia River. You won't need a calculator for this cache hunt, but you will need to bring your compass. We hope you enjoy the scenic attraction here as much as we do.


The above coordinates are for the trailhead. We've made this an offset cache due to poor GPS reception in the area. If you use your GPS as a compass, be sure it is set to operate in Magnetic Direction Mode.

From the trailhead, follow the trail to within 20 feet of the scenic attraction. Here you will find a rock approximately 5 feet by 8 feet that you can stand on. (This should be obvious.) The cache is located 54 feet distant at a bearing of 160° (S20°E)(magnetic). The 5 by 8 rock may not be accessible at all times of the year. If you can't reach it, you may need to employ the use of a 'back-bearing' to determine the cache location.

** IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO REMOVE ALL THE CACHE-HIDING MATERIAL TO RETRIEVE THIS! PLEASE JUST REMOVE A COUPLE SMALL PIECES AND REHIDE IT AS YOU FOUND IT. THIS CACHE IS ROUTINELY FOUND UNCOVERED AND THE MATERIAL THAT NORMALLY HIDES IT SCATTERED ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. IT'S A MIRACLE IT HASN'T BEEN STOLEN. THANKS! **

See the first page of the log book for an explanation of the cache name. Happy caching!
