Geocache Description:


You won't be able to soak at the cache location - the title is an anagram of where it is located. The solution is written in the log book, but it should become obvious as you get within a kilometer of the coordinates. Nevertheless, you might enjoy a good hot soak at home once you have finished the seek, particularly if you have hiked the whole trail system that this area has to offer. For this cache, you will be treated to a 1.3 km (815 metres as the crow flies) walk up a mostly moderately inclined shaded trail, gaining about 100 metres to a total elevation of about 325 metres. The above coordinates will put you at the highest point of a small rocky outcrop which should have excellent GPSr reception. From there go 27m at 303.8 degrees T. (to N48 31.000 W123 31.768) where the cache (a 500ml L&L wrapped in a blue bag) is hidden under some pieces of bark that lean against something mossy and horizontal that was felled with a saw many years ago and just left to rot. Look about 1m from the rotten top, where the stump of an old branch joins the main trunk. There is a small yellow bowtie of flagging tape tied to a very young fir branch that crosses above the hiding spot. The cache contains a couple of trinkets, a Geocaching sheet, logbook, and pen.

Linger a while and enjoy the surrounding viewpoints while you are in the area. The sunsets can be wonderful. Enjoy!
