Geocache Description:

A micro hide with one virtual waypoint along the Tolt Pipeline meant to comsume time and mentally anguish cachers.

Okay, think before taking on this challenging learning experience. We in the northwest are lucky to have salmon spawn in our backyards. Solving this cache will offer an opportunity to learn all about the Bear Creek salmon.

If you carefully study your lessons you will learn: how many thousand eggs a female sockeye will lay, the size range of Coho salmon, which salmon has red streaks under jaw, which salmon has reddish gills, which months cutthroat salmon spawn, when sockeye start migrating up bear creek, when salmon fry leave Lake Washington spawning gravel, the largest salmon, when sockeye start displaying spawning colors, which salmon has a dark blueish-green head, the number of spots on a sockeye tail fin, the shape of steelhead fins, the number of maps displayed, subtract one from the number of lakes in this watershed, and how to add one to the number of salmon populations in this watershed, and what buffalo have in common with salmon.

Yes in case you haven’t guessed, I am an engineer and can’t write for beans. This is one of the reasons this cache is rated as difficult; the main reason being that the cache hide should make Dr. Ufo Koska shudder. I guess that I will let all of the dark side out and not even offer coordinates for parking. Just find your way to the given coordinates and start your lessons. If you are successful, you will know where to begin your search for the class roster (bring your own pen or pencil).
