Geocache Description:

Quick & Easy Micro

Circuit Rider is the screen name of my good friend, Brother in Christ, and geocaching buddy.

John Wesley's Methodist plan of multiple meeting places called circuits required an itinerating force of preachers. A circuit was made up of two or more local churches (sometimes referred to as societies) in early Methodism. In American Methodism circuits were sometimes referred to as a "charge." A pastor would be appointed to the charge by his bishop. During the course of a year he was expected to visit each church on the charge at least once, and possibly start some new ones. At the end of a year the pastors met with the bishop at annual conference, where they would often be appointed to new charges. A charge containing only one church was called a station. The traveling preachers responsible for caring for these societies, or local churches and stations, became known as Circuit-Riders, or sometimes Saddlebag Preachers. They traveled light, carrying their belongings and books in their saddlebags. Ranging far and wide through villages and wilderness, they preached daily or more often at any site available be it a log cabin, the local court house, a meeting house, or an outdoor forest setting. Unlike the pastors of settled denominations, these itinerating preachers were constantly on the move. Their assignment was often so large it might take them 5 or 6 weeks to cover the territory.

Seemed appropriate to start this cache with my collection of Seattle Seekers Angel Coins 03-34, 03-37, & 03-39.

Circuit Rider is currently the pastor of Evergreen Presbyterian Church

He's so busy that he doesn't always have time to get out and geocache so I planted this one right next to his office.

This Cache has some beautiful views of the Olympic Mountians and Mt. Rainier. At an altitude of around 1000 feet, "Graham Hill" is the highest point in Pierce County before you hit the mountains.
