West Fenwick Park, Rainier View Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

martmann: Looks like it's time to archive this one, I'll be by the first chance I get (this weekend at the soonest, lots of O.T.), to pick up the container.

Thank you misguided one, for the info and re-hide.

If anybody wants the container (small ammo box), feel free to pick it up, please mention that you did, in a "found it" or "note" log.

Thanks

BRING A CAMERA, If the weather is clear, you can get a nice picture of Mt. Rainier, if it isn’t clear, you can get a nice picture of clouds (Either way please post your pictures here in the log).

The cache is a .30 cal. ammo can (just under ½ the size of a standard .50 cal. ammo can). It is kind of full (originally) but has some room for medium sized stuff. There is a very small trail, between the main trail and the cache. Please use it, instead of bushwhacking.

This is the first cache I’ve hidden, so feel free to email me with any comments/criticisms, good or bad, So that I can improve my cache hiding skills.
