Geocache Description:

This cache was originally placed in 2013 as part of the Washington State Parks Centennial GeoTour - "100 caches in 100 parks to celebrate 100 years" - cosponsored by Washington State Geocaching Association (WSGA).

Olmstead Place State Park is a 217-acre day-use park that features a working pioneer farm. The park is in the area of one of the first homesteads in Kittitas County and hosts tours and demonstrations. Pioneer artifacts are plentiful in the park, and many can be seen in action in the work of maintaining the farm. The original 1875 log cabin and 1908 farmhouse are still standing along with most of the out buildings. Also available are picnic areas and walking trails. The Altapes Creek Trail runs for ½ mile along the creek from the northern parking area to the south end of the park.

The cache is a regular container placed along the Altapes Creek Trail. It is within reach from the trail edge. Please rehide it well.
