# 070 Moose is Not Loose is disabled. https://coord.info/GCARVVK

 

The Dust Devil challenges (40) After stop # 107 On the Way to Check the Mail 0 https://coord.info/GCAMJYT, there are 40 challenge caches on a frontage paralleling the route. You add them to your list. The first one you will come across is Dust Devil: 50-50-15-15-15 Challenge https://coord.info/GCAVDH4 and the rest are north of that one.

 

We have a couple of caches that need higher clearance vehicles - # 28 Just out here Chillin https://coord.info/GC7KGYW and # 24 A Giant Camo Ammo Can https://coord.info/GC2TN11

 

# 071 Salutations! https://coord.info/GCB120W For the best effect, come after sunset and bring a flashlight.

 

# 087 State Patrol https://coord.info/GC91DF : Maybe a 0.3 mile walk? It will still requires some bushwhacking through cheat grass, bleah. Gotta work for the oldies. There is a new road, but I haven’t been there and seen if it changes the distance.

 

# 130 West Pasco Library https://coord.info/GC8870V Cache is only available during library hours, M-F 11-7, Sat 10-3, and Sun 1-5.

 

# 154 Rocky 5 https://coord.info/GCAR554 I purposely put this one on the route just to see if anybody can find. If we can get enough people looking we should have a good chance of finding it. I will suggest it at dinner if it hasn't been found. I am not sure how many people will get to it.

 

Wise Owl I: Wise Owl's Night Stroll https://coord.info/GC6KAAD This one will take about an hour. Bring a strong flashlight if you do this at night, but it's perfectly doable during the day. Maybe after dinner? It is very close to the coffee kick off event Saturday morning.

 

 

Many thanks to mmyjak for the local perspective. Thanks to them, I removed a few and added a few.
