Forgot all about the ladder (it's been a long time since I've been out here). Climbed up and found the cache swaped out TBs and also left a wooden nickel.

Wow, wow, wow! I wanted to do a special cache for my 100th (not all logged here, obviously!), and this sure fit the bill! I had asked around as to a great cache, and EraSeek directed me to this one. All I can say is AWESOME! I did this one with Geocaching.com webmaster Jeremy. It was a beautiful sunny day as we set out -- the fog had just completed burning off -- and the views out over the Sound toward the Olympics were tremendous at Bowman Bay. I had read about the ladder up to the headlands and, as we approached the cache site, I started getting more and more nervous. I am deathly afraid of heights. I saw the distance ticking off on my GPS and thought (naively), 'Wow, we're almost there, maybe we found a back way that bypassed the ladder.' Yeah, right! We got to the point where you have to scramble down the cliff to the base of the ladder and then I saw the ladder in person. My actual expression was, I am not kidding, :O. I think that if Jeremy had not been there, I might not have had the courage to go up! But he was, so up I went. The missing first couple of rungs and the wobbly feel near the middle of the span didn't help matters, and neither did the slick aluminum ramp at the top (you probably DO NOT want to do this one when it's raining!), but I MADE IT! It was worth it, too -- what a view of Deception Pass from the point! Then we set about trying to find the cache. After several long minutes had ticked by, we began to get that worried feeling that the cache was missing. Oh no, skunked at such an awesome spot on my 100th! It can't be! Fortunately, Jeremy's keen eye spotted the cache just as we started to give up hope. Black trash bags make AWESOME camouflage! Our GPSRs were telling us that the cache was about 30 feet south of where we found it, but once we were sitting down logging it, our distance fluctuated from between 12-20 feet -- in any case, well within reason, just very well hidden! For the memory of the location and the fact that it was my 100th, I took the last of the CDs with the photos and screensaver, and left a Microsoft compass/caribiner and a pack of homemade geocaching-related magnets and decals (and a Where's George dollar). Last but not least, I left what I was waiting to hit my 100th to do -- leave the first of my Moun10Bike geocoins to be placed in circulation -- #002. After we rehid the cache, we headed back. The trip down the ladder was worse than the trip up -- taking that first step is the biggest challenge, though, and after that it was an easy trip down. Thanks for an awesome experience, Whidbey Walk!
