Very easy, drive to cache. Discover local Whidbey Island history
with great view of Crockett Lake.
The Crockett Blockhouse (1855) "Sudden Indian attacks at Seattle
and Bellingham in 1855 caused consternation among the small
pioneering settlements in Puget Sound. The tradition of blockhouse
defenses was well known to American settlers dating from the
earliest English colonies. Several island families built
blockhouses, none of which saw any fighting. Col. Walter Crockett
was responsible for this one completed in 1857. Blockhouses on
Whidbey Island remained well preserved over the years, cherished as
heirlooms by the descendents of the founding families." Cache is a
micro container which contains a log and the following coins: 1959D
Lincoln US penny (the year Two Wolf was born); 1977 Lincoln US
penny (Two Wolf graduated high school); and 1988D Lincoln US penny
(Two Wolf and Mrs. Two Wolf got hitched). Leave a coin which has
historical significance to you. Log your visit with a brief
explanation as to the coin that you left. Make sure you bring your
own pen. The cache is NOT LOCATED in the building's "attic." Please
do not go up there....
