WOO HOO DA WOO HOO HOO.. My 2nd FTF of the day and my 250th find.. WOO HOO !!! So this was about a 2.5 mile hike RT from the parking coordinates. Loved the wooden fish pen so I took it I left a London underground Piccadilly pen..I was getting a lot of happy birds today the posted coordinates were not far off... SL TFTH
[Great hike through the woods]At WP1 the Lorax has flown the coop so he will not speak for trees today.[WP2 it was kinda hard to see the word without crawling out on the steel a bit. And WP3 I found no trails going to it so went cross country the coords were good..The final i took the trail and thought it would go that way but I ended up making a complete circle..If I had more time I would have tried to dry out the log.. TNLNSL TFTH So is that all there is of the Nike site left ? No underground bunkers ?]
WH FTF 8:10am Never been up here. Loved the history lesson.. Didn't see any cougars..TNLNSL Coordinates seemed fairly good...also did the other cache in the park.. Fantasy Adventure.. That one took 4 times as long to do...
I was looking at another bench but said that ones way in the open...Found the hidden one and the cache.. I think the last person here left their pen on the bench.. SL TFTH
Had to wait awhile as the golfers were taking their time to tee off and telling very bad jokes...Definitely a strange place...at the final Log is still wet signed the new one..
STF 7:40am Darn someone was doing some night caching...First waypoints were easy and coordinates were good..In the final area met up with Blindleader..We both poked around for awhile and finally found it.. TNLNSL
STF 8:15AM As I was just coming in nolenator was walking out..Darn...Took a quick look around and decided to head to my next FTF..After getting a STF on that one also.. I headed back here..To meet Kingken and kid...looking around both our GPSr were bouncing across the creek finally found it... TNLNSL
I was getting constant readings that were pointing at a fairly large Kahauna..I did not read the hint for this one before I came down here...Spent quite awhile hunting around.. I did find a item that looked geohidden..After I got back to my trunk and read the clue I decided not to go back....
That was a mushy walk up to the tower I did find a bench mark t23nr8e 47 30.446 122 50.618 coming up the hill but could not find it anywhere in the databases to log it.. TNLNSL
I brought my compass so I drew some nice circles on my cache paper... Even with a gentle nudge from the last finder I met on the way up I could not find... There was to much broken glass all over the place plus I was getting hungary... Will try again later..
This one took me awhile to find..If the last person hadn't left the geocaching label pointing so you could see it I probadly would have taken longer.. That log should never get wet....Heaviest micro I've ever signed..
WOO-HOO FTF 10:10am Took me just over an hour to hike up here...As I was walking into the area my geoeyes caught something... Spent 15 minutes looking for the micro and could not find...went to the other area and found the cache.... Signed log took nothing.. spent another 20 minutes looking for the micro still cound not find...Had a nice enjoyable walk back down hitting all the other caches...
Beautiful walk up here...I saw a small bunny but his head was chewed off..Took the Moun10bike pin left 5 Peruvian Soles..Was hoping to grab a TB but someone beat me to it... Settled for the pin...
This would be a neat place to sit and read a book.. I didn't have any with me so I TNLNSL Also there is no pen in this cache I would have left one. But I only had one with me.
The way I came in I saw no private roads or property signs...I did see the pond someone was talking about.. But a little pond didn't stop Columbus so I forged foward...TNLNSL
Woo-hoo again another FTF for me...found it at 10:10am.
This one was bugging me a new cache less than 10 miles from me going unclaimed for days..So I decided to make a clean sweep of the whole island...Left the helicopter TB since this is the only other way to get off of this island.TN SL
So from the hint when they count the items I wonder what (hint) actually is... To many muggles about to do a good search... Need to come at a less busy time...
My very first letterbox !! I never knew the whole history behind it.. Also my 200th find.. WOO-HOO. Kewl I get a new icon....This is a neat walk down this ravine... TNLNSL
Woo-Hoo FTF 8:34am Would have been here earlier except it's hard to find which side of the swamp you should park on... Also I plugged in a wrong variable. Took a guess and then I was right...At that location there is only one place to put the waypoint...Cleverly hide...So why is it called poodle dropping ? Do you need to watch for poodle droppings or do they drop poodles there...took the copter TB left 5 danish kronners..TFTH SL
Wow I wasn't the only one to find bees. Got stung once on the jaw. Also lots of nettles...My fingers still itch.. Landrovers coords put me right in the middle of the cluster of tress with the bees in the middle...Thanks Will try again later on... I hoped my CITO karma would do me some good....
OK just got wet and cold from the CITO event at Celebration Park and thought I'd hit this one real quick I looked for 30 minutes or so and no luck then it started raining again... Will try next time I'm down this way..
WOO-HOO 3-way tie for FTF great caching with Jester and Reino.
Great cache.. Nothing like tiptoeing through the nettles on Friday morning... Got a CENT5 wooden geocoin, Washington State GeoCoin and Joy of Geocaching Geocoin. Left Chuck the Alien TB. Can't wait for more of CENT5 caches.
Second to Find... I was to busy tip-toeing through the nettles in dead doll gulch to get up here.... hehe what was that plastic container used for last.
People need to look out for the newly planted trees Looks like there are a few geotrashing tracks around....Cache is not more than 5 feet from trail....
GREAT the last of the current brodiebunch caches..They need to get out some more....My hands are now nicely scrapped all over looking through those dang bushes... Didn't get a Sweet from the store...But there was plenty of eyecandy around... TN left 2 hungarian Fornits
It was right where Eleanor said it should be... Muggles were passing me at a rate of 5 per second...Guess that happens at a busy campus at noon on a weekday.
So are they going to put the restrooms for this park in those boots..Got here just before dark. Spotted the likely cache place from 50ft away....Took me a few to get the variable numbers but once I did D'OHHHHHH....
Was in the area counting eggs and decided to walk over to the final again... The mad pooper is back...I did not have any latex gloves with me or I would have CITOed. Not only that but the cache was muggled and all over the ground. I put the contents back again and hid it again..Not quite sure why they use this area as there is clean pota-potty less than 100 feet away..
FTF 8:42am I just love these pocket parks..
In your formula it should be A= 2ND # - 1ST #
Also I don't know how water/damp proof that container is.
TNLNSL
Neat tape on the container where did you get that ?
Also a neat walk Someone must have had the chipmunks working overtime to get all those acorn shells on part of the path

7:30am Well I think I was the official FTF. Some letterbox people found it first. Saying we don't need no stinkin' GPSr. The temperature was 49F overcast and no wind. My GPSr readings were about 35 ft to the North. Left geocoin TNSL
As always its nice to get a history lesson from you... So this area is kinda like an area north of Tillamook called Pacific City they wanted to be the equal of Atlantic City..
TNLNSL
Well I was trying to be the FTF on this last week.. but the security/door person kept on giving me the evil eye and I actually thought he had called the police on me...So today I was here about 7:45am found it in minutes.. SL good hide.
Neat hide and a neat container.. Grabbed the cache and then had to wait 20 minutes to put it back cause of slow moving muggles.. Took Alien TB left 5 czech crowns..
Nice rainy day cache...1st waypoint (evil grin) muggles everywhere..took awhile to invistigate where I thought it was..Left 20 Peruvian Centimos Took a purple creature..
Found it after 1 slight miscalculation.. Took the green alien TB left Waldo TB...Got caught in a heavy downpour and hail storm. No umbrella..Oh well. I had second thoughts about taking the Alien TB with AOL CD as if I even have it in the same room with my computer it will probadly slow it down.
Hey WOW my first FTF....I guess the only way around here to get a FTF is to find "The Jesters" caches..I did the cache without assistance but it was tricky to pull my self up...
The container at the final location was very visible to a passerby..Neat hide. I put a little bit more cover on it after I signed the log took a $1 and left 10 Dannish Kronners. There was a colony of bugs under the container.. I hope they weren't Centauris. BTW what are those metal things about 4.5 ft tall with the chains on them ?
Almost hit the cache on St Pattys day... Man the wind was brisk and cold out there today...did all the way points and then a way cool hidden cache... And blast it there was not a travel bug to be seen :(... TNLN SL and left my pen there.
Neat park at the beginning coordinates..
Got to the final waypoint. EWWWW someone has been using the area right next to the cache as a toilet. There was human defecation and used toilet paper all around. The clue once I saw it, I got a good chuckle out of it.. Took toy car left nothing signed log..
After finishing Something evil in West Seattle I thought this one would be a piece of cake... Got down to the parking lot and it said 400ft to go....This area looks like a teen hangout...Went up the path my GPSr was saying 3 ft to go found an area that looked a little geo-worn and nothing :( Looked around for an hour or so and still nothing.. Picked up some beer cans around the area and went home to look at the logs.. Printed up the pictures of the area and went back... Yup right tree right nook in the tree NOTHING this cache is MIA... :(
My 100th cache find YIPPPEEE !!!!
Thank you Nolenator fo the slight nudge.... OK maybe they were pushs and shoves....
Took the Hula girl TB left Guinness TB
Picked up a few cans and papers near the final location.

The seattle cop at the ferry terminal was giving me the evil eye the whole time I was looking. So I started picking up trash.. Left Token of a centennial TB and 20 hungarian Forints.
Neat little area in here Looks like a prime canidate for cache in and cleaning out.. If i had a bag with me i would would have done some.. Took Leilani TB left 5 danish kronners so you get a Tuborg..
Decided to take Loner the redlight up here with me.. After all he is a flashlight.... I must have gone up the backway as I didn't even see the tunnel.
I saw just a few patches of snow here and there.
Left Loner TB
Took Guinness TB
and NYC subway oken
The hint for parking threw me at first but hit me later on. Drove right to the spot and walked right to the spot took me about 2 minutes to find it from there.
Didn't take long to find... I also found a dead bird nearby. left ronni the travelbug took a microsoft caribiner (should not be used in mission critical situtions)
I haven't got this many evil stares from muggles ever. I think they were thinking I was casing the park and ride...You wouldn't believe what things people keep in their cars. Good thing I'm honest.. I will go back here some weekend.
Got up here to late it was getting dark out slipped and slidded up and down the hill a few times. I actually lost my GPSr for awhile and spent 15 minutes to find it again.
Muggle city !! I was here on a Saturday afternoon. There were horseback muggles running muggles walking muggles rugrat muggles. Found it minutes but had wait awhile to get it. Just like NBJpoppa I didn't read all the logs and was expecting a travel bug.
took rick the roller and traveling picture show travel bug and left eat here get gas tb A real easy find. no clues needed when i got to the coordinates you could guess real fast where it was
Now little path here. I don't know if it was lunch time or what but I couldn't find as there were always smoking muggles from the beauty school right on top of the coordinates.
I drove around the park 2 or 3 times beofre I found the proper place to park. Let the Soup-a-go-go maybe it can go visit the Stockpot Soup Factory. Took the Bug on the run was hoping for a smaller travel bug that I can take to Eastern Europe with me This container is HUGE.
Looked like a good place to drop off Moai Rapa Nui I let him lookover Puget Sound for a little bit before putting him in his cache took Mr Shaftebury will leave him off in Eastern Europe. When I first got to the location the cache looked like it fell out of its hiding location. and was in plain sight of anyone walking by. So be careful when hiding it again.
On the trail to this one I found a dead purple teletubby lying by the path at N47 34.523 W122 24.118 not sure what that was about.. found the cach with no problem that snag was kinda neat looking. The ground was frozen and was looking like it was going to snow out. Took the Soup a gogo and will try to hook it up with some Hungarian goulash early in Feb when I'm in Budapest.
Once again I was trying to help some travel bugs on their way... I want to take some to Europe with me next month...But the count on this Hotel was wrong there were only 3 so I didn't take any..
Tried finding this one a few months ago with my sister.but the homeless camp scared us off.. (we came from the uphill side)so I noticed that this Alaska cow has been stranded in here for a few months.. With my new GPS it was easy to find. Not to much mud today..
