Geocache Description:

This cache is near the peak of Candy Mountain in West Richland, Washington. At the cache you can see West Richland, the two bridges between Pasco and Kennewick, the Energy Northwest reactor on the Hanford reservation, and the Blue mountains over towards Walla Walla. On a very clear day you can even see Mount Hood to the west. It's a great walk with a dog and will give you a good workout even if you just walk up.

The listed location is for the first waypoint of this multicache. The waypoint is a common item placed on a concrete pad. You should park your vehicle next to it, either on the street or on the surrounding gravel area.

On the first waypoint is an 8-digit REA number. (You'll understand when you see the waypoint.) Fill in the digits in the spaces provided below. Then, look up towards the peak of the mountain and you'll see the next waypoint. Walk to it, and fill in the second 8-digit REA number below. Continue walking up the mountain. Halfway from the second waypoint to the peak you'll walk near a survey marker at N 46° 15.482' W 119° 21.782'. At the peak you'll find the third waypoint; fill in its information below.
