Geocache Description:

Southwest corner of the Anacortes Community forest lands. Getting to the cache involves an uphill hike with switchbacks.

The cache is located at the top of a long hike UP to a high point.  The view from the top is slightly obscured by trees, but there is a nice view to the SW.  This is a very secluded area that gets little traffic.  A great place to lay out in the sun and take a nap or whatever.  There are a few routes up and down to the cache on the local trail system.  

This is a Great mountain bike ride for those of you who are into that sort of thing.

The cache is an Ammo Box.

On the most direct route up, a nice place to take a break and sit on a stone ledge at:
N48°29.068 / W122°39.072

The closest trailhead is at N 48 29.504 W 122 38.195.

Trail maps are available at City Hall, Chamber of Commerce, or The Business. Use ACFL trail #116 or #118 when en-route to cache.
