Have you done Half Moon Cache?

I'm sorry to say that I have little experience with caches in your area. However, if you were interested in trekking further north, I would give a huge thumbs up to Light House Point near Deception pass. Although I didn't do it for my recent #500 because others in my party had, I did do it on the same day and was wowwed by it. A certain amount of effort coupled with a great view made for a wonderful time. There are other caches in the area to make the trip worthwhile.

 

Let me offer you a premature congratulations on #500, no matter what you decide to do.

I'm getting to #500 soonish - hopefully in May - and I have The Original Stash Tribute slated for half-way to 1000.

 

A little bit of a road trip, but it's a celebration!

I've done Gorgeous View, Hardy. Heard good stuff about the others. Also you can look up

Pipeline down by Hood River.

 

All make good milestone caches.

 

I've climbed Table before geocaching and it's a long haul about 18 miles RT or so. You can drive

from the north for a shorter way, but I'm not familiar with that way.

I think you've got GORGEous VIEW mixed up with another cache. It's a nice cache but definitely not in the same league as the others. I'll second the mentions of Crack of the Gods and Room with a View.

 

Another good cache is Nightwalker. Blows away all other night caches in the area.

Nope...I didn't. It's an excellent cache in my mind. Inmywoods got her 200th there. Maybe it doesn't compare to Room with a View or Crack of the Gods, but it still is worthy. I remember when I first discovered this spot, I was totally blown away.

It's shorter if you start at the parking spot for Crack of the Gods. Then it's perhaps 10 miles round trip -- you get all of the vertical with much less horizontal. (But don't go this week unless you take snow boots and an ice axe.)

Cool...good to know. That first stretch on the PCT is really boring and you have to negotiate poison oak so next time I go up there, I'll do the Crack route.

You should do the GP Crater of Insanity of course!

 

And so should the rest of you. [cajoling emoticon]

I see you're at 499. I'd love to hear what you're going to do . . .

Greetings! My dog and I went to look for E-roaded cache today. It is a nice walk but I didn't find it, so I will

have to look for something else for #500. It was a great walk anyway. We both enjoyed the trees, the water, the birds, and the .9 mile walk each way.

I ended up doing a pretty if easy cache called Viewpiont Creativity Cache GCT3CM.

 

It was in an Interesting area. I got to see the sternwheeler Columbia Queen docked down below.

 

It was also interesting to see the burn marks on the trees from the past railroad fires down below. And was that a mini observatory at the top of the hill???
