GCGRZP Westport Maritime Multicache (Multi-cache) in Washington, United States created by Caching Cowles Clan

This cache has been archived.

iTooth: Went to check on the final ammocan and it is gone (as well as WP3). This is the reason being a cache owner no longer appeals to me, as muggling seems to be rampant and I am tired of babysitting my caches; therefore, after a good long 11 year run, this maritime cache is hereby given an honorable burial at sea.

Geocache Description:

This is a cache I placed in my boyhood hometown of Westport. I spent many hours in this marina working on my Dad's fishing boats during the summers (thus, the maritime flavor of this cache). It will challenge cachers a bit on their navigation skills. The cache contains Westport maritime memorabilia and salmon fishing gear. Please replace anything you take with another similar item. The terrain rating assumes that you will drive, as this multicache is spread over 2 miles. Here's what to do:

1. Go to the above coordinates. Find a plaque with the same last name as this cache's author.

2. Year of birth=xx.xx Year of death=aa.aa
Use the following formula to find the next location:
N65°.77-xx.xx= N--*--.530'
W143°.74-aa.aa=W---*--.427'

3. Go to these coordinates. "X" marks the spot where you are to place your gps.

4. Align your gps to 259 degrees TRUE NORTH.
5. Lock in this bearing (Use "Sight n Go" on etrex Vista models).
6. Project a waypoint 0.24 miles on that course.
7. Go to that waypoint(no swimming allowed). Here you will find a microcache. The hint will help you at this stop.
8. The final coordinates are in the microcache.
9. The cache is a camoflauged ammo box. You do not have to cross the restricted area to locate.
