Geocache Description:


On returning to the truck after hiking into Hoover Lake and being unable to find the two caches we set out in search of, we decided that this area needed one or two more caches :) and perhaps these might be a little easier and boost the morales of our fellow cachers!

There is a large pullout to park your vehicle just opposite the dump in Mission and beyond a yellow metal gate/barrier is a gravel road winding upwards towards Hoover Lake.

Once past the first 100 meters, the area is just about completely devoid of any garbage. A welcome site to many outdoor enthusiasts!

During your hike you will see old, large stumps, tall trees, clear cuts and new little saplings bearing bright green foliage. There might still be a small waterfall too. It is these small hemlock saplings that you should be most interested in while searching for this cache.
