The big day... Orginal cache and HQ! The original cache is way out in the boonies! There is a physical container and log for it but like 90 feet away is nother cache called "Un-orginal Stash" which is in a beautiful pine forest setting! Gorgous!! With that done we headed into Seattle to get to HQ for our 1 p.m. appt. Made it, spent a little time in HQ and then took the HQ tour walking the streets near HQ. Some cool finds! We got eight of the nine caches and would get the virtual the next day. Next day got up and grabbed some nearby virtuals and earthcaches and then got the last HQ tour cache which gave us a souvineer! We actualy were done by noon and I suggested that we go do the APE cache today so we can get on the road faster after the APE Mega Event tomorrow... Bob agreed and we headed up that way!

	So While I'm shooting flowers, BOB is on a mission and gets to the cache way before me and starts digging it out!	It is pretty close to a busy walking / biking trail so it is quite covered.

And it is a deep container... I was up to armpit reaching to the bottom! But since there is only two APE containers still active, it is worth it!!	It was full of swag and TB's along with notes	We got a "1" next to the APE cache now! Whoo hoo!

Wait... how far did we walk?? Sigh... the tunnel is somewhere down that path!!	There is the interstate way below us... pretty country!	Finally we make a turn and see the start of the tunnel again!

But first a break... celebration food and drink for getting the APE cache!!	Bob logged it immediately! Big event done! Whoo hoo!	Pretty view

Some flowstone in the tunnel (part of the Earthcache)	We were worn out when we got to the car... 24,000 steps! Dang!
