Geocache Description:


This is one of our favorite spots in the Columbia River Gorge. Fairy Falls may not be as tall as some of the other more visited waterfalls, but it might well be the most photogenic!

Fairy Falls

Park at Wahkeena Falls and start hiking up the trail. It's approximately one mile and 900 feet elevation gain one-way -- somewhat steep, but well worth effort as you walk along beautiful Wahkeena Creek.

You are looking for a M258A1 Military Decontamination Box. There is room for SMALL trading items and trackables. Please bring your own writing instrument, and please replace the log in its plastic bag. Make sure that the lid is snapped tightly shut, and hide the container as well as you found it so that it doesn't get muggled.

Satellite coverage was extremely poor at the cache location, so you will probably need to use the hint. We have also provided a spoiler photo.

Congratulations to halfwaycrazy and Crag Climber for being FTF!
