Dune Walk #1 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Geoboater: The area around GZ has been altered by Mother Nature as well as visitors and is no longer suitable. The original container has been recovered (nowhere near where it should have been) but the previous replacement container could not be found. I will re-use the original container in a new placement several hundred feet to the north.

Geocache Description:


   Another cache in the dunes for those of you who enjoy a short walk along the beach.  It is less than 1 mile round-trip if using the Wpt 1 route through the dunes to the cache. Alternately, you could follow the main trail straight to Wpt 2 then head south along the beach and turn into the sand dunes when your device indicates the cache is 90 degrees to your left.

Using the hint will decrease the difficulty rating substantially.
**Please do not screw the top back on too tight; it could strip the threads.**

   Each geocache in this series is placed along the trails through the sand dunes in Ocean Shores. Things to keep in mind while searching for these caches:

   (1) Avoid extremely dry or extremely wet sand when driving / parking on the beach. The middle of an ebbing tide would be the best time.
  (2)  This is home to coyotes and deer. Do not approach either animal.
  (3)  Mosquitoes seem omnipresent throughout the dunes. Best times to reduce your exposure are windy days or winter. Further reduce your chances of being bit by using repellant and spending as little time as possible standing still in the brush.
  (4)  If you have allergies, note that scotchbroom is prolific here and will likely be encountered enroute to most of the caches.
Congratulations to k7da for the FTF.
