Due to uncertainties related to Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), Geocaching HQ is postponing the Geocaching 20th Anniversary Celebration to August 21, 2021. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but we feel this is the best way to host the event in a safe and responsible manner. We look forward to welcoming geocachers to celebrate with us in Seattle next year! https://bddy.me/2Vs2knx

Last month, I was at GC6RTZA. Allegedly the cache is on the sea stack behind me. It's almost 3 years without any finds whatsoever! Having seen how unstable the waters are, I suspect that this one is only available via helicopter.
