PMOGUY's Swimming Hole Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

PMOGUY: After 14 years of geocaching I am done. Caching has become a game of numbers.... Last I checked the number of caches on the planet have exceeded 3 million. 3 million plus caches .... a vast majority of them placed solely for a smiley. When I began caching it was an adventure and caches had a payoff, a cool destination or journey to the cache and also a "smiley". Now most cachers waddle from their vehicles stamp or sign the log on power trails and are off to the next WTF cache... Walk? Bushwhack. rarely... Yes there are still some decent caches out there but GC admin is in it for the $$$ so they promote and allow caches that are nothing but geotrash littering the landscape clogging the search engines with their numbers. By the time I owe for my annual premium member dues all my caches will be archived. Laziness and greed have destroyed a once fun sport.

Geocache Description:

This well hidden no real name lake is .58 mile from the Sisters Mirror Lake trail head. Bushwhacking is required unless you take one of the horse trails in the area. The hike while relatively short is over moderately rough terrain so be prepared to crawl over some blowdown and work around a few lava ridges. The cache is hidden in a fairly obvious location...once you get there. Take time for a dip. The water is great! Swim suits optional!(*_*)

The Sisters Mirror Lake trail head is a NW Forest Pass pay to park site.
If you do not have a Forest pass and don't want to "pay to park" there are a couple of places to pull off beyond the 1/4 mile parking restriction area along the Cascade Lakes Highway. They will ticket you if you park at the trail head without a pass (if they catch you).

*NOTE SUMMER OF 2005 THE "LAKE" IS DRY!* READ THE LOGS*!)

It is still a neat place to explore!
