Geocache Description:


Another cache placed along a trail that lies in Whatcom Land Trust protected area. I actually placed this cache a looooonnnnngggg time ago. Like a fine wine, some caches need to mature. It is time for this cache to be shared with others.

This cache is accessed via a trail that starts near "I'll take the Low Road" cache. If you start there, the distance to the cache is less than 0.75 miles along a flat, forested trail. The cache is located 5 feet off the uphill side of the trail just before the trail reaches the river. I am not going to lie, the coords are about as wonky as can be changing every time I tried to get them to settle down. Please use good sense and the knowledge that the cache is 5 feet uphill from the trail and all will be good. You are looking for an ammo can

After finding the cache, I highly suggest you walk up river and admire the excellent geology. If you are observant, right were the trail drops to the river, there is a source of fossils.

This area is dedicated to preserving important salmon habitat.From the Whatcom Land Trust website.:Our HeritageWe are entrusted with an extraordinary natural heritage.
