Work Commenced (Stealth Required) Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

glorieme: Alas, when the pan-dammic hit in 2020 and we all started working from home, things changed a lot downtown. Especially different is that I no longer work downtown (we have all gone to remote working). Without the usual workday crowd and such around this area like there used to be, and with the larger homeless population here, this cache is disappearing more often. Time to say "adieu" to this cache and live with the great memories. It was my 3rd published cache 3 months short of my 1st anniversary of caching.....so it's had a great run now for almost 14 years.

Geocache Description:

Nano in the city. Difficulty is higher due to muggle factor. Please use stealth when finding and replacing this cache so it will last a long time. Please be sure to put it back EXACTLY where you found it. The other good and similar spot - though it may seem similar - it is not. Thanks!

Work was commenced here in October 3, 1886 by the Salvation Army, but I commence my own work near here every Monday through Friday. When Captain Mary Stillwell came to Portland, she found saloons lining Union Avenue, filled with rough characters. Once, she was badly injured when a saloon keeper turned a fire hose on her. You might find some rough characters here on any day at any time, but you'll get a small little smiley face when you find this cache. Tolerance and goodwill to you! Cache on! Congrats on the FTF to bramasoleiowa (and welcome home - thank you for your service to our country)!
