Geocache Description:


My friend Ted Garcia is a "plein air" painter who lives in Evergreen.  That means he ventures out into the world with his paints and easel and paints what he sees.  One day - August 28, 2012, to be exact - he stopped here in the canyon and painted the rock formation to the west of this spot.  It was roughly half-way through his streak (perhaps record?) of 2,014 consecutive days where he painted outdoors, from 2009 to 2015.  Truly the Cal Ripken Jr. of the art world!. 

I always liked this formation and I always referred to it as "the arch,"  Ted had a better name for it, "Pooh Whispering to E.T."  I wish there was a better/safer observation spot, but this is a tight canyon.  At least there is ample room to park, and you can walk to the cache on the creek side of the guardrail to get to the geocache.  I don't think I need to give a hint, because any cacher with experience will know where to look.

Here is a link to a video where Ted explains his technique.
