Scouting4Ever: I visited the cache today and had no difficulty getting to GZ, even while wearing a thin T-shirt. While there is some trash nearby, I didn't see any signs of homeless people. Yes, the Federal Way woods have serious problems with homeless people, but I've never seen one near this cache in the five years it's been here.
I really appreciate the strings of "Found" logs with nice comments but there are too many strings of nasty "DNF's" so it is time to let this one go.
I've retrieved the bird and taken it home (see photo). I also took a picture of the approach to GZ from about 15 feet away. Once inside, the path to the bird was unobstructed - at the base of tree to the right. Oh well... maybe the bird will reappear somewhere else, maybe not. It's been a good run.
