Thanks to all who favored this cache.
Tamanowas Rock, a rough, egg-shaped monolith rising 150 feet above the trees. Streaked with moss and pocked with caves and crevasses, the top offers a panoramic view of Chimacum Valley. At ground level, it is surrounded by open fields, some old-growth trees and wetlands.
A sacred ceremonial and gathering site for over 10,000 years, Tamanowas Rock stands over a valley steeped in rich cultural history and ecological diversity. This area is the traditional territory of the Chimacum people, whose population was diminished as a result of disease and warfare. However, the remaining Chimacum people were absorbed by the Port Gamble S’Klallam and Skokomish tribes. For the S’Klallam people of the Jamestown, Port Gamble and Lower Elwha Tribes, Tamanowas Rock is a site of cultural and spiritual significance.
Elk, cougar, coyote, deer and other small mammals live in or migrate through the area. Songbirds, raptors and eagles come to forage, perch and feed. Amphibians inhabit the wetlands, and the surrounding upland forests provide overwintering habitat for several species.

Logging Etiquette:
Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required.
Single word, acronym, or emoticon logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
