Rushing Water Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

benandjayme: We visited with the Ranger at Kanaskat-Palmer today to pick up some other geocache permits. After chatting a while with him, we decided the best thing to do was pick up the container and archive this listing since we won't be able to get a permit for it at the current location or anywhere particularly nearby [:(] We had hoped to keep this one going for many more years.

This cache had a great life, though, and showed quite a few people (including us!) a cool section of the park that is otherwise quite hidden. This is still a very worthwhile spot to check out if you're in the area [:D] Thanks to BuffyandFamily for placing it nearly 10 years ago and thanks to the parks staff for doing their best to help us with the permitting process!

Geocache Description:

Enjoy the paths through the woods as you seek the Rushing Water.

Several trails are available in this wooded area.

The cache is located where one of the trails reaches the Green River.

The trailhead is in Kanaskat-Palmer State Park at N 47° 18.826 W 121° 54.118.

No need to bushwhack, trails are available for the entire route.

I didn't record the distance, but perhaps 1.5 miles to the cache.

This is another great location to take the dogs for a walk.

This cache can be found on mountain bike or on foot.

The cache is a ammo box with goodies.
