Scenic Mountain Loop Highway

July 27, 2003


Excursions to: The Cascades, from Granite Falls to Darrington to Arlington (Washington)

On the way...

I think this is Big Four mountain, but I'm not sure. In any case, were in the vicinity of that, looking out toward the Ice Caves.

Different mountains, same spot.

 

Coal Lake Road

 

This was a really interesting cache. The hider keeps various rock and fossil samples in the container. Here, Jeff checks to see what's inside.

 

Cindy & Aurie pose in front of the mountains across the road from the cache.

 

Jeff's turn to pose!

 

The cache was hidden next to this great rock slide. There are fossils of leaves on many of these rocks.

 

North Fork Falls

LucyandRickie hid a new cache at the end of a short trail down to the waterfalls.

Lots of spray and a beautiful emerald green pool are found at the bottom.

We left a sand dollar travel bug that was looking for beaches. This is not a sandy beach, but it's a really great spot next to the water. The travel bug was grabbed by another cacher the same afternoon!
