An small piece of history in Drain, Oregon.

PLEASE NOTE: There are FIVE questions that must be answered to claim a find on this virtual cache.


In honor of Oregon's One Hundredth year of Statehood, the Drain, Oregon Chamber of Commerce and Mr. R. R. Roudebaugh sponsored the reconstruction of this covered wagon to repeat the rugged journey that brought pioneers to the Pacific Northwest.

To log this virtual please e-mail us the answers to the following questions:
On what date did the commemorative wagon trip begin?
How long did it take?
How many states did they cross?
On what date did the commemorative wagon trip end?
What building is this site in front of?

Please do not post your answers here, even if they are encrypted, or we will have to delete them. Thank you.

PLEASE NOTE: We've had a few reports that the coordinates are off a bit. Probably not too far off as most people have found it, but, they seem to be about a block away from the cache. (I should just update them, but I've been in a lazy mood lately.) If you get to the posted coordnates and find absolutely nothing that resembles a covered wagon, try this set of coordinates:

N 43°39.7255, W 123°19.0190

ALSO NOTE: Please log your find and e-mail me the answers at the same time. This way...

  1. You're not waiting for me to accept your answers to log your find. (I don't get to answer my e-mail every day, so it may be a day or so before you hear back from me.) It's rare that a finder sends the wrong answers, and I tend to give finders the benefit of the doubt. If I have any questions or concerns about your log or answers, I'll let you know.
  2. I'm not waiting for your answers. No answers = No find. Period. (If I have to e-mail you more than once to send the answers, your log will be deleted.)

You are more than welcome to log this cache as a group. It's easier for us if we receive the answers from everyone who logs a find, but if one person wants to send the answers for everyone, that's fine too. If that's what your group is planning on doing, please, PLEASE, list the names of who you are sending the answers for, or let us know who will be sending the answers for you. You know who your friends are, but we don't.

Enjoy your visit to Drain
