2007 MT HOOD TERRITORY GEOCACHING CONTEST
July 1 - 31, 2007 :: Cache remains as a Regular Geocache after
the Contest
- ONE OF TEN CACHES -
There are ten Geocaches in this series that forms the
Clackamas
County Geocache Contest sponsored by the Clackamas County Tourism
Development Council (CCTDC).
The Geocache Waypoint Control Numbers for the rest of these
Geocaches can be found at www.MtHoodTerritory.com by clicking on
the "Suitcase" symbol. That is also where you will find the July
2007 Contest Rules and Information.
The actual Geocaches are all similar and can be identified by
the Steel Blue-colored AMMO Cans with a MT Hood Territory Sticker
on one side and marked as an "OFFICIAL GEOCACHE" on the other
side.
Each Cache contains a Log Book and written on the inside bottom
of the AMMO Can is a 'CODE WORD' that you record on your
Registration Sheet. The Code Word is also printed on white paper
that has been laminated and placed in the bottom of the Geocache
Container. (The word "CAREFUL" is an example only and is not used
in the Contest. There are various items in the Cache that are there
for trade. You may leave Travel Bugs, Geocoins and other tradeables
in the Cache for the next finder. Please try to keep the quality of
the Trades as being at or above what you take. This will certainly
please the next finders as this will remain a Regular Geocache
after the contest is over!!
As we anticipate that there will be heavy traffic to find these
Geocaches, please practice the very best of Geocaching Ethics. Each
of the Caches is placed for relatively easy access and discovery.
Therefore it is very important that you be well aware of Muggles
and carefully replace the Geocaches after you have found and Logged
your find (Don't forget to record the Code Word!).
If you discover any problems with a Geocache, a quick e-mail to
ORNITH through my PROFILE on Geocaching.com will be very greatly
appreciated by the Geocachers that will come behind you.
In most cases there are TIME CONSTRAINTS on the Caches. That
means that there are times when they can be accessed and times when
they are OFF LIMITS. Please abide by these times as in many cases
thay are placed by special permission of the Caretakers of the
location where they are located. Thank you.
B-17 LIBERATOR BOMBER, MILWAUKIE
This Cache is located at the site of a B-17 Bomber that sits
over a now out-of-service gas station.
The story of the Bomber is exceptional and worth reading over.
You can find that story at GC10CJC on geocaching.com
HOURS OF ACCESS: 7:00AM to 9:00PM
The B-17 BOMBER is one of a vanishing breed of aircraft. Very
few still fly the skies of this world!
There are other Caches in the area for the Geocacher to
find.
