Ice Ice Baby - GeoCache Find #531

Found: Sep 02, 2005

It has been almost a year since I have had my GPS receiver out for geocaching. We were going to spend the Labor Day weekend at Hood Park campground so I hoped there would be some new caches in that area that I could take the kids to hunt.

Sure enough. Besides the Hood Park geocache that was in the park there was a cache, Ice Ice Baby , just up the road at Ice Harbor Dam. In August 2003 I had hidden a cache here, Ice Harbor Petroglyph, but someone absconded with it about 6 months later. I am glad to see a new one in the area.

After a little searching Brendan found the cache and we all signed the log book. There was nothing inside the container that the boys wanted to trade for so I just dropped in a couple of my million dollar bills and we re-hid the cache.

I noticed that the Ice Harbor Dam Visitor Center was open so we did the self-guided tour and watched the fish pass by the windows as they made their way through the fish ladder. Because of 9-11 they will not let you bring in cell phones or cameras into the center and adults have to show picture ID to enter.
