+Seattle Seekers Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I figure I'll be coming up to my 300th find sometime in the next week or two or three depending on the weather. I'm looking for idea's on a good cache to make my 300th. My 100th was "Maud Lake Viewpoint" and my 200th was "...and a whimper". I'm looking for something with a nice hike leading to an excellent view. Not any more difficult in terrain than "...and a whimper" though because then I wont be able to get my kid to come with me.

+vds Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Hmmm... Franklin Cache any time. Galloping Gertie at lowwwwww tide. Scooby Doo's Sister, or Steilacoom Stash near sunset. Kanaskat-Palmer for a picnic. Hamilton Viewpoint for a quick find then celebrate at Pegasus Pizza at Alki. Link to comment
+travisl Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Phooey to yooey, VDS. I know from experience that Galloping Gertie is a lot more fun on a moderately high incoming tide. One of my all time favorites, although no hike was involved, was Billy Goats Gruff. Its archived, but its replacement cache is still available. Amazing view, in a spot you wouldn't expect.

4x4luv Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 (edited) make it real bigone so try"Chily Willy at on Set D". If you would like I will hide in your bags, and do it with you. Edited February 12, 2004 by 4x4luv Link to comment
+Drinksmith Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 While it doesn't end with too much of a view, I just completed 'Deep Woods Conundrum'. It was so much fun! Think 'caching meets Choose your Own Adventure'. It takes time, but it's well worth it! Link to comment

Think 'caching meets Choose your Own Adventure'. It takes time, but it's well worth it! I agree with Drinksmith. that was a classic geocache hunt! Link to comment
+EraSeek Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 How about this: Skagit Bay View from Craft Island Kid friendly, great view. Just don't go at high tide. Link to comment
+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Phooey to yooey, VDS. I know from experience that Galloping Gertie is a lot more fun on a moderately high incoming tide. This would be a great spot for a scuba cache. It's a premier dive location. Of course the work they are doing right now is destroying much of Gertie but hopefully they'll get it under control.

+The Jester Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 May I suggest my Micro Multi Cache GC31B9. The cache itself doesn't have that much of a view (but a little ways west isn't bad), but some of the waypoints do (Sign of the Times in particular). The same for a hike. Link to comment
+shunra Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 (edited) How about this: Skagit Bay View from Craft Island Kid friendly, great view. Just don't go at high tide. That's absolutely one of my favorites, too, and I did it with a 5 year old, at low tide, during hunting season to boot. I don't think the tide is a problem for Craft, and a low tide is actually a condition for adding Hike to Ika Island - another absolute favorite. Other recommendations that meet your specs are Ebey Bluffs and Col. Ebey's Time Capsule on Whidbey Island, and most of the Deception Pass area caches with a view to the West. It's too early for recommendations that would bring you up into the mountains, I suppose. Edited February 18, 2004 by Shunra Link to comment
+evergreenhiker! Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 They already got 300 this last Sunday Link to comment
+shunra Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 They already got 300 this last Sunday Oh... Congratulations, in that case! Keep on caching, and consider our recommendations when you get to your 400th :-) Link to comment
+Seattle Seekers Posted February 18, 2004 Author Share Posted February 18, 2004 Thanks for the idea's. Link to comment
