This geocache is located in East Port Orchard, WA. - Kitsap County and consists of 83 acres of land, much of which is still heavily wooded and the rest fairly open grassy fields. Park Description: Historic farm, walking trails, off-leash dog area. Park Directions: Take Hwy 16 to Sedgwick. Travel east on Sedgwick about three miles to Long Lake Road. Howe Farm is located on Long Lake Road between Mile Hill Drive and Sedgwick. Park Rules: http://www.kitsapgov.com/parks/Parks/Pages/regionalparks/Howe_park_rules.htm |
INSTRUCTIONS: Once you have arrived at the park, go to the South entrance and park your vehicle near the steel gate. The coordinates will take to the general area, about 25 feet or so away from the geocache, but not to it's precise location. Proceed over or around the gate and onto the trail that goes almost due East. It will go somewhat downhill, cross a stream and then back up the hill to an overgrown level area that was once a clearing. From this point, there are several trails and you want to take the one that goes South. Follow it down and around and through the woods, until you come to Twin Maples on the Left and another Twin Maples on the Right. One of them conceals what you seek. CONTAINER: A Lock & Lock about 4" Wide x 6" Deep x 6" High. You will find some dice that came from Vegas, along with some Cateye Marbles, just in case you may have lost some of your own along the trail. |
Good Luck and I hope you choose wisely. |
If you are a member of Geocaching, GPS Games, Letterboxing, Navicache and Terracaching, then there at least one or more "treasures" to find in this park for those websites. |
