Thanks -FM |
An incredible group of cachers made an epic hike in
the pouring rain to get all of the caches along the Explorer Falls
Trail and then on up to Echo Lake. While entering his logs for the
finds along the trail one of our fellow hikers came up with the
aptly named moniker "Soggy Sixteen" for our group.
After logging the first finds on the cache up at Echo Lake one
member of our group suggested we take a different route back; a
shortcut if you will, designed to cut about 2 miles off of our
return trip. During that leg of our trip, as we were walking along
the logging road, we spotted the tree pictured to the right a short
distance into the woods. Everyone agreed that the spot needed a
cache and I had just picked up a great container in the Echo Lake
Cache that we had just found. We Scrambled around and came up with
a pen and a piece of paper for the log. The Soggy Sixteen invite
you to relive our journey and come out to find this
cache. |

Members of
the Soggy Sixteen and Beta Loggers for this cache are:
7forHeaven, AndrewRJ, Brewermd, GrnXnahm, Gymrats1, LandRover, Lost
Sparky, Shadow Boy, SKS and Wazzzzu. Other members of the Soggy
Sixteen but not included in the beta are Moun10Bike and
lucyandrickie.
The cache should not be hard to find in the place where it was
hidden but it was overcast when it was placed and the tree cover
was making for some spotty coords. Use the hint and post better
coords if you get them.
The hike is long and can be strenuous so please plan accordingly,
bring plenty of water and food and the 10 essentials needed for a
hike in the wilderness. Cougars, Bears, and Coyotes have been
spotted in the area and we encountered the skat of all three while
making our trip so please be aware of that as well. Thanks for
taking the time to come out to this great area to look for this
cache!
Congratulations to Brockman7L for
FTF!
