Geocache Description:

Small, lightly-used park in heart of Bellevue. Close enough to Highway 520 to be pretty noisy most of the time. GPSr reception may be spotty.

This is an unspectacular, unimproved little woods just down the road from us (hence our first). It has no facilities other than an isolated little bench (at N47 37.839'; W122 09.686'), which is pretty limited and isn't overly scenic these days. Still, it's a sheltered little walk. If you don't mind the traffic in the background, it's also pretty peaceful. No formal park parking exists, but there are spots on 24th Street (probably better off of one of the residential streets down the hill). Trailhead is at the (very busy) 3-way stop at the top of the hill. Cache is just off the trail. No trampling/bushwhacking required.

Note -- In hiding it, I discovered this was actually Waypoint #1 of an archived, old multi-cache (SuperGenius #9 Momma Cache by Pepper). According to the log, they've apparently removed the final. I may yet try to trace their series to see what's there.

**The above is the original description when placed in 2004**Now 20years later** Things have changed very little at this park from 2004. The trails may have improved slightly. The bench remains in place with even more diminished views. Several other caches have come and gone nearby. Parking along 24th still is relevant, but there is a new park with parking for 3 cars up on 132nd. The container used to be an ammo can, but has been switched to a smaller lock n lock container. I'm maintaining the original D/T and size for posterity. The hint item is still relevant, but I have added a tad bit more to avoid trampling.
