We stayed up way to late the night before and slept in way too late this morning. We lazily got up, showered ate food and decided that it was a nice day and that we should make the most of it. I suggested geocaching because we needed to chip away at the Tehaleh caches we had left to grab and it was a nice day. We got ready and I grabbed my GPS and we were on our way. We drove to a set of parking coords that would lead us through the trail systems around the development. The search was on!
Tehaleh Which Way Do I Go? GC4JGMH, was the first one we encountered on our walk through the gravel path. I gave Ben the GPS so he could get more practice using it for when get can get one himself. We were looking for a micro without a hint. We found a film cannister hidden in an old stump less than a foot off the trail. We signed our names and moved on to the next one.
We were looking for a regular on the way to GC44AQK, Tehaleh Winthrop Cache. I was kinda happy to finally see a regular in the many micros we've been finding lately. Sadly, there wasn't a whole lot of swag inside the ammo can but we had fun finding it anyway. This one was tucked neatly behind a log.
We walked back towards the car and hit the other side of the trail. That took us to a bunch of naked trees. Tehaleh Stuck in the Middle With You, GC4JGMN was at first tricky to find. The coords jumped around a bit but we managed to find the right set of trees and then it was obvious. We put it back after we signed it, walked back to the car and drove to The Post.
The Post, GC4TH8X, was a fun one to find. We could see a great view of Mount Rainier from this location. This one was magnetic and the only place it could have been was on the metal fixtures underneath the benches. This one even had a trackable inside.
There were two others down the trail we decided to go for since we had a smidgen of daylight left. We grabbed the first one, GC44APG, Tehaleh Monster Cache. It was definitely a monster. It has been one of the few large ammo can's I've come across so far. Ben was pretty impressed by it. There were lots of kid's toys shoved in a plastic bag inside. We signed our names and put it back in the pile of branches.
One more before heading back to his house. We walked the quarter mile down the gravel path to, GC44062, Tehaleh Forest Park. It was a mini ammo can in a plastic bag on top of the wooden information board.
We walked back to the car and drove back. I got my stuff packed up because I had to work the next day. Until the next caching adventure!
Next Adventure: WSGA Holiday Party in Renton, Wash.
