Geocache Description:

FTF: March 20, 2003 - By: W7WT.

THE ABOVE COORDINATES ARE BOGUS!
If you're looking for an Easy Grab & Go, this isn't it!
This cache page is Natural Reader compatible for the visually impaired!

WHERE IS IT HIDDEN?

The object of this cache is to find numbers at several locations throughout West and East Bremerton, WA., subsequently leading to the cache, which is hidden within the Illahee Community Forest.

At first glance, you might think that this is going to be a difficult or complicated cache to complete, but you may think otherwise after you have driven to all of the waypoints and collected the necessary information.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?

As for it's contents, that will remain a mystery until you find and open it. Remember, please take only one item per person or group and leave something of equal value in return. Otherwise, "Coin of the Realm" is always an acceptable alternative!
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

You will be looking for a Medium Size Tupperware container. After you Sign the Log Book and have selected what you want from the cache, please re-hide it equal to or better than you found it! There is no need to make it easier for others.

The cache is hidden under a log and about 50 feet East of the trail. Whether you are on or off the trail, if you find a GREEN "X" on a pole or a tree, you have gone too far.

After signing the Log Book and selecting what you want from the cache, please re-hide it equal to or better than you found it! There is no need to make it easier for others to find it, so cover your tracks on the way out.
HINTS & TIPS!

1.  You won't even have to get out of your vehicle for clues.

2.  You will be following a Power Line trail past a Yellow Gate.

3.  Parking is also available at the entrance to the Illahee Preserve (Thompson Drive & Riddell Road), but you will not be able to drive your car past the security gate. However, you may access the road on foot or by bicycle. Please read the signs posted at the entrance. You are being watched!

4.  On the East side of the road, about 0.1 mile from the gate, there is a trail that will take you to the Powerline Trail.

5.  Due to heightened security levels around water and power stations and paranoid but well meaning citizens, Do Not Enter areas marked with NO TRESPASSING signs or access roads blocked by Steel Cables.

6.  NO MOTORIZED VEHICLES and NO BUSHWACKING!!!
WHAT SHOULD YOU WEAR?
A Warm Jacket, Long Pants and Hiking Shoes or Boots.
Always be prepared for rain in our part of the county!
