It seems like just last week we were in the dark days of winter here on the White

River Plateau and now spring is bursting out and the start of summer is just a few weeks away. It is the summer months that make up for the dark and damp winters that we are known for.

What a glorious place we live in! Even though development seems to be creeping closer each year, we are still surrounded by farmland and open space to the west, but we are on the edge of the wilderness with only small pockets of civilization to the east for miles. Buckley and Enumclaw are gateway communities to Mount Rainier National Park and hundreds of tourists pass through our communities each year shopping, eat-ing in our restaurants and sleeping in our hotels. Crystal Mountain is a world class ski resort here in our backyard where skiers

from all over the world come to ski. With the opening of the gondola, Crystal Moun-tain now operates during the summer months allowing people of all ages and abili-ties to ride to the “top” and experience that gorgeous view of Mount Rainier that the skiers have known about for years.

� e foothills and mountain areas provide miles of hiking opportunities from the Pa-ci� c Crest Trail and the Wonderland Trail around Mount Rainier to a walk around Deep Lake, a hike up Mount Peak (Pinna-cle Peak), walking the Foothills Trail or trip up to Mowich or Tipsoo lakes. Our outdoor opportunities here are endless.

� e Log Show in Buckley is the last full weekend in June complete with a parade down Main Street, street fair, carnival, Boy Scout pancake breakfast and the Log Show where local loggers compete in several di� er-ent events for prizes and bragging rights for

the next year. � e weekend before is the Log Show for kids that kids can test their “log-ging skills.”

� e � rst Saturday in June (which is Na-tional Trails Day) is the Rainier to Ruston Relay and Ultra from near the Ipsut Creek entrance to Mount Rainier and ends on Ruston Way in Tacoma. More than 1,000 runners compete each year. � e last Satur-day in July is the B&O Half Marathon which continues to grow each year and follows the Foothills Trail from Buckley to Orting. � e Buckley Youth Activity Center has many programs and activities for kids with special programs on � ursday a� ernoon. Be sure to visit the Foothills Museum and check out the hundreds of artifacts that are on display showing the history of our area.

� e summer is too short to get it all in! Have fun exploring and sharing this won-derful corner of the world that we call home.

to the Heritage House.

One of my favorite things to do as a kid was scavenger

hunts.Sadly, I can’t convince

my parents to take the time to hide things around their house and leave me a trail of breadcrumbs when I come over to visit on the weekends.

I guess that’s why adults like me invented geocaching, and the Plateau’s rural-ness make it the perfect area for you to get out, explore and � nd several dozen geocaches right near you.

Before you start, you may � rst want to download some sort of geocaching app. I used the geocaching.com website but there are several other third party apps and web-sites you can use.

Second, bring a pen on your geocaching trip. Most geocaches have a sign-in list inside

the cache containers that people sign (for anyone interested, my � ancée and I are MerryN’Pip).

Finally, you may want to load up your pockets with little trinkets or col-lectibles. O� en, when the

containers are big enough, people leave coins, stickers, even little � gurines for other people to � nd and take. Just remember – you take one, you leave one.

� ere are several geocaches around Enum-claw that I’ve explored. � e � rst caches I found were all on the Enumclaw Plateau Trail, just northeast of the city. � e whole series spans about two miles, so it’s a great way to get exercise as well as have fun, some-thing I always struggle to do. Just make sure to wear sturdy shoes – not all the caches are right along the trail (though none take you anywhere dangerous or on private property).

For those not in-the-know about geocach-es, they’re o� en hidden with one or two gen-eral clues to help you � nd it.

Downloading a geocaching app onto your phone and using your GPS will help position you within at least a dozen feet of the cache that you’re looking for, but you still have to rely on sharp eyes (and sometimes, sharper wits) to � nd the cache.

For example, the � rst cache on the Enumc-law Plateau trail is called “City Limits.”

“If you’re walking north to south, you just entered the Enumclaw city limits. Welcome! You’re looking for a camoed bison tube. Please rehide exactly as found,” the clue reads.

It took us a while to � nd this cache, most-ly because we has no clue what a bison tube looked like.

� ey’re shaped like a pill, about as big as a quarter, and o� en come with a key-

ring on top. So good luck � nding that one!For people who need a hint, those who hid this cache (shout

out to benandjayme) provided one additional clue: “I can see Rainier from here.”

If you do � nd this cache, remember to put it back exactly where you found it. � at’s a big thing with us geocachers.

� e coolest part of this particular cache series is eight of the 13 caches contain part of a letter-number substitute code. Find-ing all the parts of this code will give you the coordinates to a bonus cache, which, to be honest, I haven’t found yet.

� ere are several caches in downtown Enumclaw as well, and it’s fun to hunt around town, grab a drink at Kelley’s Mercantile or ice cream at Sweet Necessities to cool down and resume your hunt.

Geocaching is a world-wide hobby, and folks over in Buck-ley, Bonney Lake, Sumner and beyond will be delighted to learn they don’t have to travel all the way to Enumclaw to geocache.

And if you like to � nd yourself way out in the boonies, like Mount Baldy or Skookum Falls, there are still many geocaches waiting to be found.

So strap on your boots, grab some snacks, pocket your GPS (and maybe even a portable charger) and get caching.

Summertime has arrived, and what a great place for an adventure – the

White River Plateau. Enumclaw and our

neighboring communities are very fortunate to be situated in the foothills of Mount Rainier with farm-lands and quaint neigh-borhoods around us.

Enumclaw is a great place to play year round, but particularly during the summer. � ere are more things to do than hours in a day. Enumclaw is a place where you can catch your breath, relax and play at your own pace.

You can begin your day with a choice of home-style breakfast options or simply a quick co� ee stop. Head to the mountains and play until you are weary, come back into town for dinner and rejuvenate or stroll and shop our downtown at a leisurely

pace, sip wine, eat home-made salted caramels, choose that favorite slice of local pie and meet the locals who are happy to share a bit of Enumclaw history with you.

Perhaps your planning will include one the many events that Enumclaw or-ganizations or the Enumc-law Expo Center, are hap-

py to host. Checking in with Enumclaw Chamber of

Commerce on Cole Street is a great way to � nd out the latest of what is happening in our area.

Whether it is an outdoor Rainier foot-hills adventure, soccer game, baseball game, a bike ride down our country roads, national park visit, or strollin’ and shop-pin’ in Enumclaw – you can meet up with locals, get the inside scoop on places to go and activities to � ll your 2016 Summertime

Memory Book.At the end of the summer I hope you will

say, “I want to go back to that little quaint town of Enumclaw. � at little town that made me feel a part of the family.”

I wish everyone a safe and fun-� lled summer.

See ya on the hiking trails.Best wishes always,

May� Liz Reyn� ds

The Greater Bonney Lake Historical Society

� e history of the Bonney Lake plateau � gures prominently in the early history of Washington Territory. � e Naches Trail, a former Native American path extend-ing from the waters of Puget Sound to the Cascade Mountains and beyond, saw not only the tra� c of Native Americans, but also trappers with the Hudson Bay Com-pany and explorers from the 1841 Wilkes United States Exploring Expedition.

With the establishment of Washington Territory by an act of Congress in 1853, there was increased interest in settling the Puget Sound region. � e Donation Land Claim Act served as an enticement for many new immigrants, including our area’s � rst settlers. Michael Connell and James Williamson, former soldiers in the U.S. Army assigned to Fort Steila-coom, built cabins on their claims along the White River. Reuben Ashford Finnell built his cabin and barn a mile to the west

on the banks of what is now known as Fennel Creek.

Puget Sound residents were eager to di-vert the wagon train migration from Or-egon Territory to the wilderness of West-ern Washington in order to increase our population. � e quickest way to do this was to create a road over the Cascades, thereby shortening the route by more than 200 miles. � e old Naches Trail be-came known as the Immigrant Road, and the � rst wagon train to use the still un-� nished road crossed the mountains in the fall of 1853, bringing families that be-came the founders of communities, such as Longmire, Biles, Lane, Himes, Kincaid, and many more.

Connell’s Prairie Historical Marker: Following the Medicine Creek Treaty of December 1854, Gov. Isaac Stevens relegated the Native Americans to res-ervations. Once a free roaming people, unrest began building when the Native Americans came to understand how con-� ned they were to be. On Oct. 27, 1855,

the Puget Sound Indian War began on Connell’s Prairie when Michael Connell and Lt. James McAllister were ambushed as the road crossed the swamp where the Native Americans waited in thick under-brush, hidden by fallen timber. � e fol-lowing day the Native Americans crossed the White River and killed nine people and then returned to Connell’s Prairie a few days later to once again ambush un-suspecting victims, Col. A. Benton Moses and Joseph Miles. � e Naches Trail - Im-migrant Road soon became known as the Military Road providing a more rapid path between Steilacoom and Fort Walla Walla.

William B. Kelley arrived in 1864 with his wife, father Nathan, and his siblings. Both William and his father claimed land on the banks of Finnell’s Creek, encom-passing the prairie that had originally been settled by Reuben Finnell, which had been abandoned after the Native

Americans burned his cabin and barn during the Puget Sound Indi-an War. Both William and Nathan went on to serve in the Washington Territorial Legislature, and William served as Pierce County Auditor during the 1880s.

Kelley also donated land for a one-room school house. Kelly Lake school teacher Amy Johns Ryan, who was 19, wrote of keeping a hatchet on her school desk for protection against Native Americans, cougars, and oth-er wildlife when she taught in 1897.

Kelley Lake School � nally closed its doors in 1963, when it merged with the larger neighboring school districts.

In 1946 Ken Simmons moved his family into the Bonney Lake com-munity. � ere was no electricity or water available and just a few dirt roads into the area. With Simmons spearheading a cooperative venture, it was just a matter of a few months and electricity was enjoyed by all. � e next item that Simmons took on was a good water supply. � e best way to achieve that was by incorporating, so

on Feb. 28, 1949, the Town of Bon-ney Lake was incorporated with a

population reported at 327. Within a year, Washington’s newest town had its own water system, new roads, ex-panded electric lines, refuse disposal, and telephone service.

By 1957, there were 12 businesses in Bonney Lake, with several new shopping developments underway. By 1965, the population had in-creased to 1,280. Between 1942 and 1972, there were a number of at-tempts to dis-incorporate the com-munity to return to being part of un-incorporated Pierce County. � e last such attempt was made in 1972.

Today, Bonney Lake is a thriving community with a population of over 17,000 and more than 500 licensed businesses inside city limits. Contact the Bonney Lake Historical Society at 253 447-3268 or email at [email protected].
