Geocaching

Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a Global Positioning System receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", at specific locations marked by coordinates all over the world

Ancient Graffiti Revisited

Geocache Description:

Previously there was a cache located here. When we began geocaching we looked for "this one" several times and after many, no finds it was archived. Always thought it was a good place for a cache so figured we`d hide one here again. Great parking - lots of traffic in the summer and a little history to read about. No need to leave the path.
You will be looking for a pill bottle with a log and pencil. There`s a geo-coin to start it off. Please replace this cache exactly as it is hidden or it will go the way of the former cache.

Simtustus Overlook

Geocache Description:

Cache is located on a paved rural road near a cliff overlooking Lake Simtustus. Extra caution needed for children and pets. Large parking area available.
You`re looking for a medium-sized screw-top camo`d container with the usual swag. No need to get close to the edge. Please watch your footing.

The Cove: Mt. Jefferson

Geocache Description:

The cache is on public land. Mostly flat ground with some rock hopping. The higher difficulty rating is due to the fact that you will be near a cliff that drops to the water below (no need to put yourself at risk - the cache is NOT at the edge or over the edge). The hike is not difficult but could be lengthy.
Because of the proximity of a cliff, please keep any children and pets under your control. You are looking for an ammo box. It contains a log, pencil, trading items, and a travel bug. Dollar coin for the first finder. Most IMPORTANTLY, it has half of the coordinates for "The Cove: Bonus" cache. You will need to find "The Cove: waterfall" for the other half.

Warm Springs Island Paradise

Geocache Description:

If you are ever on Lake Billy Chinook and need to find shade without going ashore, this is the only place you`re going to find it unless you bring your own. Unless you`re a great swimmer, you`ll need a boat and sturdy shoes. Best have stout protective clothing too.
In this unique spot, we placed an Ammo Box with lots of goodies for the kids, a few travel bugs, and some Coyote Urine so you can attract your supper. You`ll be ready for a filling dinner once you finish this cache.
