Description:There are many
breath-taking views in Washington State, and it does not take a lot
of effort to get to them. Peoh Point is one of them. Overlooking
the Town of Cle Elum is the rocky point of Peoh. Many plant their
gardens based on this point. "When there is no snow on Peoh, it is
time to plant the peas." Many have driven past this point, and now
it is time for you to go the distance, and see the Kittitas Valley
from a new point of view.
The Cache contents are comprised of a wide variety of things
that you might use while camping. Since this cache is in the woods,
we decided to make this cache another Brownie themed cache. If you
take something, only leave something that might be useful when
camping, or hiking, like D rings, flashlights, etc.
Have a fun time, and be careful. Please keep an eye on the young
ones because the cache is close to a big drop off.
Driving Directions: Peoh Point
can be reached using FR3350. From Cle Elum, head south through
South Cle Elum. Go past the Iron Horse Bed and Breakfast, and
follow the road to FR3350. The turnoff is too the left just past
Mohar Road. It is well maintained and there should be no problems
getting up to the cache site.
If you are coming from the Ellensburg, you do not actually need
to drive all the way to Cle Elum. Take the Thorp turn off, and go
through the town of Thorp. Just past the Thorp Mill, on the right
is the Thorp Prarie Road. Take the Thorp Prarie Road to Taneum Road
and follow it. (I.e. The overpass over I90) Later this road turns
into FR33. Just remember to keep to the right, and the road will
evntually junction with FR3350. As with 3350, FR33 is also a well
maintained road.
Once you reach the cache area, park at the turnout before the
gate, and please make sure to hide the cache from sight, after you
find it. This area receives a mild amount of foot, and motorbike /
snowmobile traffic, and we don’t want anything to happen to the
treasure. You shouldn't need a 4X4 to get here. My Toyota Corolla
Wagon, which sits kind of low, made the trip with no problems.
Note: Note: The logbook and
lid say Peoh View. This was just a misprint on my part.
