Geocache Description:

Located south of Tacoma, south of Spanaway just off the Mt. highway 7 just past 340th. Easy find, the only reason terrain is 1.5 is because it may be hard for wheel chairs.

School's Out!!

I thought it appropriate since I am a school teacher and all the members of the "G" team are in school or have been to school to make our first hide a School Days theme. We picked for our location a very special place that once was the original Weyerhauser Elementary School built in 1927 by Mr. Bresemann. There is quite a story behind this unique building but the real story is yet to come. My good friends Ben & Lisa Coss are the current owners and reside in a trailer behind the school. Make sure you wave and say hi to them or even stop and chat if you're interested in some of the history behind this old building. They would love to tell you about it and their new plans. Ben & Lisa literally sold everything they had and moved into the trailer with the hopes and dreams of restoring this old school and making it a shelter for orphaned children. The miraculous things that have fallen into place to allow this to occur are amazing and best left for these wonderful people to share. This is truly a miraculous spot and more amazing miracles are yet to come. Enjoy your find and may God truly bless you on this visit.

Items in the cache are mostly a school days theme. No need to stick to the theme for trading but you are welcome to. There are postcard photos of the school that you may take (no need to trade) and First to Find please take the First To Find certificate suitable for framing and display it with pride!

We are also making this cache the launching point for "Coach Bob" the travel bug school bus. He is on a mission to photograph unique school buildings built pre 1930's. If you can help him on his mission feel free to take him!

We are also asking that when you log your find that you also include something about your favorite school teacher growing up and what you remember learning the most from these wonderful people that helped shape our lives. Thanks! Sincerely, Bad Shark & The "G" Team.
