+The Jester Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 High on a Windy Hill encourged my wife and I to (finally) make the drive to a place we'd always said we should go to. The memories of the view are still with me five years later. Dick has been an inspiration to me to keep going even as I'm aging. My prayers are with him and his family. Thank you, Dick.

+W7WT Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 High on a Windy Hill was hidden on 10-15-02. I have decided to archive it on 10-15-13. We are home now and I had my cast removed Friday. Still pretty useless. Arlene had an emergency operation for a bleeding Aortic and has to take it easy. So it will be awhile before we geocache again. Thanks for all the kind words and best wishes.

+W7WT Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) Just a reminder "High on a Windy Hill" virtual in the Olympic National Park at Hurricane Ridge will be ARCHIVED the 15th of October. It was placed 11 years ago on October 15, 2002. There is a Earth Cache within walking distance of the Visitor Center. Winter arrives early up there. I have also informed the National Park of the archiving. Dick,W7WT Edited September 28, 2013 by W7WT Quote Link to comment
+W7WT Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 "The weather station at aptly named Hurricane Ridge reported a gust of 85 mph just after 7:30 p.m" I have been cross country skiing up there when the wind was strong, but not that STRONG. Quote Link to comment
+W7WT Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Hopefully Olympic National Park will be open before the October 15th when I had planned on Archiving it. If not, I will wait for a week after it is again open to Archive it. I know it is only a cache and I do feel bad that I am not able to adopt it out. However I do want to be fair to those that had plans to make a last minute trip. Dick, W7WT Quote Link to comment
+Belleterre Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Very sad to see the cache going away, but nice of you to hold off until after furlough. I know that's going to mess with a lot of peoples plans. Quote Link to comment
+MtnMutt-ProDuckShins Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Hmmmm.... I may still get a chance to hit it. My wife's hip replacement has kept me from going any place except those few minutes of PT. Well, if I don't the time at least I knew I had the chance. Thanks.. Oh, I still have your coin.

+W7WT Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) Looks like Hurricane Ridge opened today. I will now archive "High on a Windy Hill" on October 31st. That will give two weeks for anyone wanting to find the Virtual. Dick, W7WT Edited October 18, 2013 by W7WT Quote Link to comment

+Cool Cow Cachers Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 This idea came to me a little too late to host an official event but we'll be heading up to Port Angeles and Hurricane Ridge this weekend to log this cache on it's final weekend. We will be camping at Heart O' the Hills campground and doing some other caching in the area as well. As the saying goes, the more the merrier so come and join us! Quote Link to comment
+W7WT Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Thank you for heading up the hill. We would join you but have reservations for geocaching in Camano Island and around Arlington. Enjoy the nice weather above the fog. Dick, W7WT Quote Link to comment
+W7WT Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 The Virtual "High on a Windy Hill' at Hurricane Ridge in the ONP is now archived. Please close this topic Quote Link to comment
