I don't believe it was Scooby Doo's Sister Stash. This stash was a little north and there was no train tracks or park. It was a private beach and was not part of the park . I destinctly remember a small totem pole close the the cache. Thanks for the response. Is there anywhere that lists caches by state and date? We have moved from the westside to the eastside, and changed our username so we lost our original list of finds. Hard to believe it has been 17 years since our first hunts. and we were introduced into geocaching. Thanks for the link!

My son and I began geocaching in early 2000s after an intro by a classmate at PLU. I would collect him after school, load up with a supply of snacks & we would head off the find a cache nearby. In those days a 1996 Thomas Guide was the best resource for mapping a location that would get us close enough to hike/walk to cache & track with our little Garmin GPS handheld. My son was either a Kindergardner or 1st grader back then. We found a cache bushwacking our way to a beach location in south Tacoma and I was hoping to get any info on what its name was, and its location. We had to park above the location and follow a trail (more like remenants of a trail) thru a nature area that had a creek at the bottom that dumped into a small bay. created by the creek. When we reached the bottom of the hike, mostly under tree cover, the trail opened to this fabulous beach that was at first covered in a layer of fog that burnt off as we rested and tried to guess where we were. We remember a small totem pole, and several shelters made out of large pieces of drift wood. The beach was mostly small rounded rocks. The creek was shallow and we walked across it to discover a parking area and road, and a sign that said private beach. For some reason I thought it was called Scooby Doo, but I am not sure. I believe it was in the Chambers Creek area, but it seems to be a smaller creek, and the stash was on the beach that looked out on Puget Sound. Any info on where this stash was and its name would be greatly appreciated. I believe it was a stash from one of the original developers of geocaching. As we still have a treasure from the stash that we have been waiting for the right spot to put back into circulation. Thanks! Happy Hunting!
