State Quarter Swap Traditional Geocache
SamuraiJack: TeamB&S is right. Time to pull the plug on this one. We have moved a ways out of town and have trouble keeping this catch maintained. Thanks to all who visited.

A short peacefull walk, but watch out for trolls. Bring a State Quarter to swap. Hey, just to make it worth your while if you are not into quarters, I put some of the new "Louisiana Purchase" nickels in it. [9/16/04 - They are almost gone.] Please take one, even if you don't swap a quarter - if you found it, you deserve it!
 With the issue of the Oregon state quarter coming up (2005), we've decided we want to try and collect one from each state. Here is our chance to help each other out! The cache contains five different state quarters. Bring a state that is not on the list below, and we'll credit it to you. Since we've got four years to go, let's track mints (Denver / Philadelphia) as well! It will be interesting to see how soon a recently issued quarter (i.e. Florida) shows up after it gets released! You can learn more about the 50 State Quarter Program here.

Details, details, details . . .
We've learned it pays to pay attention to the details. We've walked many a mile because I didn't read the description close enough.
You are looking for a small cache (think "Altoids"). Park at 44 35.767'N 123.16.024'W. If you are up for more adventure, continue on foot to the "Pooh-Stick Bridge" cache (GCJ2ND). Both caches are along a city green-way with private property on both sides so no need to wander off the trail!
No need to leave the bridge or climb over rails. Use your head and be safe. If you need more of a hint than provided below, I'll leave another hint in the back of the "Pooh-Stick Bridge" cache logbook.
