This is an official WSGA (Washington State Geocaching Association) event.
Dinner will start at 5:30 PM; hamburgers, hot dogs, condiments, chips, and drinks will be provided. If you have other dietary needs, bring something you will enjoy. Volunteers are needed to help with the setup (starting at 4:30 PM) and clean up afterward (finishing by 7:30 PM). If you arrive early, you will be put to work. The park opens at 6:30 AM and closes at dusk (8:30 PM on the 8th), so feel free to enjoy the day.
Visitors can enjoy two swimming beaches, sandy volleyball courts, and forested trails open to hikers and bikers. Kayak, pedal boat, and standup paddleboard rentals are available near Tibbets Beach. Playgrounds can be found at Sunset Beach, Tibbets Beach, and along the trail between Sunset and Tibbets. Our picnic shelter features a central fire pit, is conveniently situated between the two parking areas, and is between the two swimming beaches. Restrooms are located nearby.
We'll have raffles! Bring your current WSGA membership badge and be entered into a special raffle to win one of 25 geocoins! Raffles start at 6:30 PM, and you must be present to win!
The Washington State Geocaching Association sponsors this event. It is open to all geocachers: Puget Sound area cachers and visitors, WSGA members and non-members, seasoned cachers and newcomers, and families are always welcome. So come, eat, visit friends, meet new folks, trade caching secrets, and enjoy the day!
