Geocache Description:


RILLS, ROOTS, & ROCKS is a cache series named for some of the terrain you will encounter while hiking the Headwaters Trail, in Lynn Headwaters Regional Park. There are a lot of caches along the Lynn Loop / Headwaters / Cedar Mills trail system, and this series was meant to bring geocachers to the Headwaters Trail in particular. The terrain rating reflects the general state of the Headwaters trail (I would estimate T3), plus the long distance of the hike involved. You may need to cross some minor streams and walk through muddy areas, so wear appropriate footwear.

GPS may be less accurate in this terrain, so use your geo-senses. All the caches in the series are very close to the trail itself, so bushwhacking is not needed. Although these geocaches are in the forest, you will encounter other hikers on the trails, so use stealth if other people are around while you are taking the caches out or putting them back; please conceal them in the same way they were found.

This partcular cache is a small lock & lock box, tucked into a root hollow of a tree which is at the top of some weirdly-angled stairs. It is right next to the trail, but still be careful of the steep slope.

* Note: the First To Find this cache was Trexzer .*
