Three Forks Too Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Moun10Bike: I stopped by today and the cache was indeed missing. I had a replacement in hand, but the site has changed enough that I couldn't find a reasonable place to locate the container that would keep the hide more or less the same. I've elected to archive the listing and let someone else use this spot.

Geocache Description:

This is a replacement for the old Three Forks cache, which was placed by Kodak's4, adopted by me, and then archived when it turned up missing.


Mt. Si Seen from the Cache Site

When I archived the old Three Forks cache, I was certain that someone would snap up this gorgeous location for their own. I was surprised when, after almost a year had passed, no one did, so I hid my own replacement while out in the area today.

The cache is located in the 418-acre Three Forks Natural Area located at the confluence of the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork of the Snoqualmie River. It is hidden near a bend in the river, just a very short stroll from the road. Mt. Si looms to the southeast, and the water gurgles past pleasantly. Parking is not a problem; just park in the wide spot on the gravelled shoulder of the road.

Best of all, bring a lunch, a snack, or a thermos filled with something nice to drink, and enjoy a little picnic while sitting on the rock retaining wall (a recent addition to this spot). The view is stellar, and this is a great spot to get a little recharge!

The container is a small plastic Lock-n-Lock container. Please be sure to rehide it well so that it doesn't disappear like the previous cache did!
