Geocache Description:


This is a series I have with my adventure bestie TweedleDumm. Come along with us and see what we find on our crazy adventures, you never know what you just might find for yourself to explore :)  This is our third and biggest cache cache so far. This trail was a bucketlist for TweedleDumm. The Cabin you will see at the parking location was built in 1907 as the first administrative site of the Olympic National Forest, which, at the time, included the area that is now Olympic National Forest. Emery J. Finch, Ranger and Hoodsport pioneer, built the cabin for his new bride, Mabel, and they moved in on April 22, 1908. Between the years 1933 to 1942, the station hosted several government programs such as the ERA (Emergency Relief Administration), WPA (Works Progress Administration) and the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps). From 1942 to 1986, the cabin was a fireguard station, and from 1986 to 1994, it was used by Forest Service volunteers. I beleive I saw somewhere that this is the oldest building in the Olympic National Forest. 

 

Anyway back to the business at hand. It was just a sign that I needed to place a cache here. The cache is regular sized, but BYOP. There is a small prize for the FTF. an unactivated GEOCOIN Trackable.  Please make sure to rehide the cache as found, once you get the smilie you will understand the need to camo it well. :) 

Congrats to yellow1961 for the FTF smiley
