NOTE: YOU
CAN NOT GET TO THIS CACHE FROM SHORE.
Do not try this cache without a small boat, eh?
Bellevue has a Phantom paddle
cache?
Mr and Ms IDFC are consistently impressed with the creativity and
innovation for caching here in Washington. About 6 months ago we
discovered the paddle caches placed by Prying Pandora et al
and spent a fun day out paddling lots of great little lakes.
Plenty of miles of paddling and only one
dunking (that would have been Mr IDFC) left us wanting to add
to the paddling cache community. This is an easy 20-30 minute
paddle around the lake picking up 3 waypoints on the road to the
final.
Stage 1:
The cache coords take you to “The Bridge”: Let A = The number of
vertical rails supporting the hand rail on one side the
bridge.
Stage 2:
Takes you to what is left of an old dock: Let B = The number of old
piles (the timbers sticking up from the water) in this area.
Stage 3:
Takes you to the permanent measuring meter for the lake: Let C =
The highest whole number on the gauge.
The Final:
The final is located at 47 3(b+1).c3c, 122 0a.a10
(Checksum for A+B+C=17)
Cache:
A small
lock-n-lock. It is now a small hanging item from the
tree so it survivies the water level changes, birds, and wind.
Portage: Non-trivial.
You can park in the park without problems, and there is a
nice dock to launch from, but the carry from the parking lot to the
water is not without a bit a length. No permit required at
the park.
Have a great paddle!
