Geocache Description:

On beautiful Whidbey Island, an easy, kid-friendly fish-themed cache. All points can be done on foot, but for little tykes with little legs, it might be a bit of a haul.

Hidden in 2005, muggled and replaced in Summer 2019 with the help from the Wagtails, this is a 3-stager. Collect your data at the coordinates using the below clues, find Stage 2 based on that, and the coordinates in Stage 2 will send you to Stage 3 and the cache.

The cache is an official clear-topped Geocaching Pelican container, approx 4" x 8" Starting goodies are kid-friendly and fish-related. It would be fun to keep the fish theme going. Also in the container, a First to Find Pin (even though the *real* first was in 2005), a Geocaching compass, and a Travel Bug! We hope this replacement lasts until 2033, another 14 years!
