Geocache Description:

The Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery is located just north of Independence off 395 on Fish Hatchery Road.

This is one of our favorite stops on the way to and from Mammoth from LA. The place is beautiful, has a great history, a spotless bathroom and you can feed the fish. The cache is located outside the gate, so it is accessible 24/7. Please leave it as muggle-proof as possible.

Original contents:
P.D. travel bug
1 log book
1 pen
4 mini markers
2 pencils
1 emergency blanket
1 pocket can opener
1 recipe for Chilled Strawberry Soup
1 packet of Canteloupe seeds
2 Spiderman bandaids
2 safety pins
1 Lance Armstrong Live Strong bracelet

Don't forget to bring quarters to feed the fish. Great fun!
