When it's foggy, this spot offers a really great view of the valley, both to
the south, where the view ranges down the valley and the trees recede into the
fog, but also to the north, where the fog lingers in the hybrid poplar
plantation even after it's burned off in the rest of the valley. There's a
snag just to the east on the north side of the road that's frequented by bald
eagles, who seem to drive off the red tailed hawks that would lay claim to the
prime hunting spot.
This spot is a popular place for duck hunters to check on conditions in the
fields to the south - it's all private property but they must lease hunting
rights.
The cache is quite close to Woodinville-Duvall Road, which can carry heavy
traffic at times. Please make sure you have any small children in hand
while you search, and take care not to wander into the roadway.
The cache is a 4 ounce transparent green Lexan Nalgene jar with a white
lid. It's about 3 inches in diameter and 3.5 inches
tall. There's room inside for a few trinkets (the cache started with a
small globe keychain from the worlds biggest geocache, some plastic frogs, a
shiny rock, some Harry Potter Collector stones, etc.) but alas, no room for a
pencil. Please bring your own pen to sign the log sheet (which is the BACK
of the geocache notice in the ziploc bag).
WAAS reception is great at this spot, so using WAAS should put you within a
few feet of the cache. My EPE when I snapped the waypoint was 7 feet, the
lowest I've ever seen with my current GPS.
