If you see garbage in the parking lot, WE CHALLENGE YOU TO DO A MINI CITO AND PICK IT UP, rather than complain about the garbage in your log. Be the bigger person and set an example!
Welcome to Julia's Gulch Park! Coordinate accuracy is challenging due to the gulch and tree cover. Stay on the Upper Loop Trail. Do not leave the trail to go down into the ravine that lies inside the Upper Loop Trail. The cache is only a few feet from the Upper Loop Trail. Refer to the map.

Cache "WSGA20 - PS - 15", the 15th cache for the Puget Sound Chapter on the WSGA 20th Anniversary GeoTour, is in tribute to rocketglider and his 15th geocaching anniversary on October 3, 2018. This cache replaces Archived Cache "15" (GC7YH1A) near the same location. Fortunately, this cache is hidden much easier than the original "15" and does not have its fifteen choices to make:
"Today marks the fifteenth anniversary of my first find, "Wing Attack Plan R" GCEFCB near Lake Chelan. 15 years. That's 180 months. Or 5,479 days. Yes, a long time. So, what better way to celebrate than by placing a geocache!?
The geocache is located in the Julia's Gulch Park, a City of Tacoma park, that has a trail looping down from the parking area. To find the relocated cache you will need to drop over the downhill side of the trail. Please put everything back the way that you found it. Aren't you glad I don't count by months?!"
😎😎 ✨ Good luck and happy hunting! ✨ 😎😎
[Obey park rules. Seek only during daytime hours. Be stealthy. Bring a pen(cil). You must sign the physical log to claim the find online (or online log will be deleted). Re-hide as found with camouflage. If hide location changes, send private message to owner. Don't post any logs or images that include cache spoilers. Thank you for your help.]
Congrats to charlypoohfoundyou for FTF Honors!!!
In September 2002, a group of 19 concerned geocachers scheduled a meeting after hearing that the Washington State Parks was considering banning geocaches in the state park system. Out of this meeting, the Washington State Geocaching Association (WSGA) was "born" with its core values of promoting geocaching as a fun, family-oriented outdoor activity that increases awareness and appreciation of the environment and our parks and trails, provide opportunities for participants to enjoy geocaching and to socialize with other geocaches, educate park systems and land managers about geocaching and its benefits, increase awareness and support of the geocaching through interaction with other outdoor groups and the public, encourage low-impact geocaching and promote stewardship of our natural resources, and support "Cache In Trash Out" activities to help maintain parks and trail systems.
In 2022, the WSGA turns 20 years young. To celebrate this milestone, the WSGA is hosting a 20th-anniversary GeoTour. This GeoTour will give you the opportunity to travel to all corners of the Evergreen State while you search for 140 GeoTour caches. To make it easier to tackle such a large GeoTour, each of our 7 regional chapters will host a bite-sized GeoTour consisting of 20 GeoTour caches with the entire GeoTour consisting of 140 caches. To learn more about our GeoTour, please visit the GeoTour page on our website which you can find HERE. We hope that you enjoy getting back out on the road while touring around Washington State. If you have any questions about our GeoTour, you can reach out to us via the contact tab on our website.
