For anyone wanting a true adventure of at least 5/5 this one cant be beat.
Worthy of the trip just for this cache. I attempted this a while back and
was unsuccessful. I still have yet to write up the ordeal. It did involve,
2 boats loaded with equipment, wetsuits, climbing gear. In the end our
stuff ended floating all over the river, the gps was filled with water and
it was all we could do to gather our stuff and make it down river far
enough to get out of the canyon before we froze.
One of these days i will have to post the failed results.

Log Date: 1/24/2004
Let me just start to say ...when me and chunky chipmunk decided to do this
one , we thought we had done our homework...we brought bandaids,rope,snake
bite kit,flares,glock 30 w/xtra magazines, extra clothing,blankets, number
to g.w. in washington..we were ready..
Got up at 5am to go get this god-forsakin cache ..get out to jeep ...1
parking ticket and 1 tow slip...had to talk tow truck driver into leaveing
jeep alone...then next
go to start jeep ....left dome light on ..battery dead ....wishing now we
had a tow truck driver ...
fianlly got a boost....started to cache ...i'm looking a p.d.a. to get
better instructions ..chunky chipmunk looking at g.p.s. to get better
driving instructions..no one lookinga raod ...we rearend a b.m.w. at a red
light...chunky blames me ..i blame her ..when police area ..we both blame
the sun ....blinded us both...guess what ..same tow driver again......
finally get a rental car 3 hours later .....still going to get this bathtub
cache ...get to area ...unload ..start out of parking lot ...fall over
curb..roll down the embankment...the gun i was carrying discharges..hits a
car in the parking lot ....chunky has assumed the stop-drop -and lay low
postion by now....
so as i am laying at the bottom of this hill ..leg broke and bruised up..i
realize this one has got the best of me and chunky ...8 hours later and we
still have not gotten further than the parking lot....
we will be logging this find ..due to the heart ache,body ache, car
problems,possible jail time for discharging a handgun in city limits , $
750.00 in tow bills...
