Geocache Description:


Steelhead Trout
The steelhead trout is an anadromous fish, meaning it returns to fresh water rivers to spawn. The scales of the steelhead shine flecks of silver with a gray spotted back from head to tail and an intensely white belly; the two colors separated by a hint of opalescent pink. Steelhead trout is one of the most popular fish for recreational fishing, a major industry in Washington State. The steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus) was adopted by the Legislature as a state symbol in 1969.

This cache is part of a group of caches that are placed for the WSGA 2023  Campout @ the ‘Claw (GCA7WMT).   In 7 of the 14 caches we placed poker chips.  If you find this cache on the day of the campout you can take one poker chip per cache, per caching name.  When you return to the campout you can draw up to 5 cards for the deck, if you have 5 different colored chips.  The object is to create the best poker hand from those cards.  If you happen to have found all 7 different colored chips you have the option to discard up to 2 cards and draw 2 new ones to create your poker hand.  The best poker hand at the end of the day gets first pick of the caching items available.
