Moon Falls Revisited Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Justlook'in: This cache has been there a long time and I am sure things have changed on the steep hillside. I will archive this cache for now and hopefully get up there to revisit revisited again. It is worth the easy hike.

Geocache Description:

Thanks to several cachers who let me know there might be a problem with this cache, I finally revisited my original coordinates and lo and behold, they were a bit off. My apologies to those who may have tried to find the cache using the original numbers. It is amazing what 3 minutes of latitude can do for you. Thanks for the heads up DP4C and crew, mountain climber 66 and finally Chubby Forest Monkey. I finally took the hint.

An easy 1/2 mile hike on mostly level trail takes you through beautiful old growth forest, some of which has been selectively logged in the last few years. The cache is a plastic jar wrapped in camouflaged tape and is filled with goodies.
This is one of several beautiful trails to falls in the Layng Creek/Brice Creek area. Don't miss the chance to pick up the "Spirit of the Game" cache nearby. They make a nice pair. There are some very large old growth Douglas Fir trees in the area around the falls and some very interesting rock outcroppings. Some of the trees are probably well over 500 years old. I had difficulty getting clear signals so the coordinates are an average of readings taken from several directions. You may want to bring the clue with you just in case.

Note: The cache is offset from the falls a bit. Look for it as you approach the falls - You can hear the falls but not yet see it.
