  • Multi-cache could guide you through a fascinating site
  • Virtual may highlight a well-known tourist destination
  • Wherigo lets you experience your surroundings in a new way
  • An EarthCache encourages learning about natural formations
  • Mystery (or Puzzle) cache can uncover hidden local stories
  • An Event introduces you to fellow explorers and the local community

This challenge highlights the variety that geocaching adds to travel.

This cache is part of a travel-themed series hidden along a quieter stretch of the PST trail, where there are fewer people and plenty of shade from the trees, making it pleasantly cool even on hot summer days. The caches are placed along the path, and the route is not circular.

 

Please note:

If you do not yet meet the condition, you are welcome to log a "Write note" after finding it. Later, when you qualify, you can change your log to "Found it".

 

Happy caching, and may your travels be full of variety and adventure! 
Let the journey guide you, one cache at a time.
