Park in either of the two pullouts running along the eastbound
lane of US 2 below the falls. Reception here is poor and the
coordinates can bounce around. The cache is only a short way off
the highway. Use the trail leaving the most eastern of the two
pullouts and keep to the left staying on the high ground, which
overlooks the downriver section just below the falls. You are
looking for an ammo can hidden in the middle of the high ground
where a path used to deadend but now cotinues and drops off the far
side. Look on top of the rock toward the river before the path
drops. You will probably want the spoiler picture. Please rehide
the cache well as the muggle factor here is very high. The
cache is no where near any cliff edge or slippery rocks. If you
have kids with you, keep a very close eye on them. Stay safe and
watch your footing. "Cache seekers assume all risks involved in
seeking a cache."
Monroe daredevil Al Faussett shot Eagle Falls on Labor Day 1926
in this specially made "cigar" boat, which was 16 feet long and
made from a large log sawed down the middle. Because of low water
it was a rocky ride and Faussett got a good shaking but was
otherwise fine. Faussett is standing in the boat in this Monroe
Historical Society photo (#1533). The man holding the pike is
Captain Forrest Elwell, who in 1907 became the Captain of the
Black Prince, a river steamer specially built in 1901 to
run the Snohomish and Skagit Rivers.
