Geocache Description:

A two stage multi-cache with the final cache not far from the first waypoint. Total walking distance should be about two miles with an elevation gain of about 250 feet using the recommended starting point. It can be shorter for those that are resourceful (Hint: the Issaquah Alps Club - Cougar Mountain Guidebook is a good resource). Recommended starting point is at Lakemont Highland Park - N 47° 32.804 W 122° 07.834.

Waypoint 1 – N 47° 33.360 W 122° 07.753

You are looking for an object on the Summit Trail. If it is a clear day, it is worth spending some time on this trail to enjoy the views (before or after finding the final cache).

A = Number of wood slats on object (note: one is missing)
B = A-4

Final Cache - N 47° 33.BB1 W 122° 07.A2A

You are looking for a well-identified, medium size (.50 caliber) olive colored ammo box. The cache is within 15 feet of the trail.

Original contents include:

UWdawg mini-cache #32
Scottish Scribbler travel bug
1st Class travel kit
Where's Bob $1
Bud Golf Towel
other stuff

Sheets will be added to the cache that have directions for an alternative return to the starting point providing additional great views.
