Could SAR be prospecting for more business then???

I've placed a few caches for a friend in places where hunting elk meant bringing a knife and fork. Far as I know, the booty's never been touched. One thing's for sure, I won't bother going back to them ever again. One of them has a pretty darn good knife in it, or did if someone had the backbone to actually go find it.

46° 41' 06"N, 121° 11' 10"W

There's the coordinates, roughly. That was 5 years ago.

Beauty - I drove right past that area 2 years ago on vacation. blush But at the time I didn't know much about geocaching or have a gpsr.

I didn't see a listing for it on GC so it may have been archived. Two nearby caches by Waterboss seem to have plenty of activity.

What struck me about the region was that it went from mountain rain-forest to semi-arid in the space of an hour or two drive (Rainier to Yakima).

I love the last line in the goechache link, left by the SAR team. "PLEASE DRESS FOR THE WEATHER, TELL SOMEONE WHERE YOU ARE GOING AND PLEASE DO NOT GET LOST OR WE WILL HAVE TO COME FIND YOU"
