Level of difficulty: Fairly straight forward if you have a compass.


From I-5 North & South: To get to Fort Steilacoom Park from Interstate 5, take Exit 125 toward Lakewood. Turn left on Steilacoom Boulevard. Turn left on 87th Ave SW, right on Dresden Lane SW. Follow the road past the sports fields. You will eventually see some old, red barns in front of and to your right. Look for the parking lot behind (& left of) Barn #2.

South Sound Quest Fest "Finish Line" clues:

Start at the yellow gate in the NE corner of the parking lot. Almost immediately go right on a trail heading about 160. Go past Marv's bench, and continue heading about 160 until you find an old concrete slab. It looks like a driveway to something, but what? Follow the concrete down the ramp on the other side and take a left on a main trail. This is part of the cross country race course.

Continue on the trail, up and veering right, (while picturing yourself running the 3.1 mile course in about 20 minutes). Cross a gravel road and get on a small trail heading about 140. Veer right, then left at a double triangle so that you are heading about 110. Stay with this trail until you re-connect with the race course as it comes down the hill. Go left.

Don't take the first right; it looks like some kind of a mountain bike trail. Take the second right on a small trail. Don't take the first right off of this trail, but look for the second. And before you say "There is NO way I'm climbing THAT!", look for an old stump opposite that second trail. You'll find your goal on the lower right hand side of the stump!

Please hide the box well when finished. This is a very popular park. Send comments on box conditions to kerjin@myndworx.com and if you are Sun Seeker, please contact us to have your box returned to you.
