I had so much fun snowshoeing on Rattlesnake Mountain for my
birthday last year, I thought I'd head out and give it another
shot. Attempting to avoid some of the crowd, early on I broke off
from the trail onto a road, planning to follow it until it met up
with the trail further up. Very soon after, I spied a benchmark on
my GPSr.
So much for snowshoeing!
The cache is hidden around 20ft right on the marker when looking
back up at the road and is an ammo can.
There are a few ways to get to the cache, one of which is
described in Forty-n-Eight's
Rattlesnake Mountain Benchmark (GC18WV4) cache. Both caches are
off connecting forest roads. Check Northwest Trails for an easy trail up
there. You do get to also log the benchmark if you find that (N47
29.957 W121 51.337)!
Please note: When looking at the spoiler picture, the cache
is now located to the right of the marker, not the left.
