This cache brings you to a small fishing pier on the Swift Power canal a few miles east of Cougar, WA. Ole Peterson, the "Mayor" of Cougar Flats, had his homestead in this area. There's an information board next to the pier with Ole Peterson's fascinating story on it. His homestead was located just east of the pier between the canal and the existing river. On the information board, the "X" marks the spot where the homestead used to be. This location is visible from the next driveway east of the pier and you may park there to view the area where the homestead was once located. There's a lot of pioneering and Native American history in this area! The cache is a small black plastic container (labeled) located inside the hollow center of a fallen tree next to the parking area. Cache has tradables and a log. BYOP.
Please follow all state regulations if chosing to fish while you are here. Snowfall may prevent you from finding the cache in winter. Travel safely!
