Geocache Description:


Warning: This is a winding road. For safety's sake, it is best to approach this cache from the West driving East. Your feet don't need to leave the parking strip. This is in a foresty ravine so GPS can be bouncy. I averaged GPS readings taken on three different days.

In 2019 I decided to try for a yearlong streak. Once I completed the 366 days (2020 being a leap year), I realized 400 wasn't that far away. Once I reached 400, I thought I couldn't stop at 400 when I was 80% to 500. As I was nearing 500, I sometimes found myself driving 5 to 10 miles to get my daily cache. I promised myself (and family) I would quit at 500. But did get a cache on day 501? You bet I did. Day 502 became the hardest day of my streak; the day that I didn't get a cache.

I have been thinking about placing one or more Streak Fodder caches since the days of my streak. At the HQ 2022 Anniversary event last summer I met a lackey who was currently on a geocaching streak of over 400 days. We talked about how distance was becoming an issue and of the necessity of having a few found but unsigned caches nearby for those days you don't have time to drive 5 - 10 miles for a cache. So, this cache is for that lackey and all others who are working on a streak.

What? You are not working on a streak. Maybe this is day #1.

I usually try to place geocaches in places that have a good view, fun feature, or in areas that are just pleasant to be in. This meandering road provides a pleasant in city taste of PNW wilderness (ferns, moss, trees and water). I have traveled it many times by car and bicycle.

There were three of these Streak Fodder caches at time of posting so you get a Power Trail attribute to boot.
