2007 MT HOOD TERRITORY GEOCACHING CONTEST
July 1 - 31, 2007 :: This Geocache will remain a Regular
Geocache after the Contest is over.
- 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 Contest
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 this Contest.There are various items in the Cache that are there
for trade. You may leave Travel Bugs, Geocoins are other tradeables
in the Cache for the next finders as this will remain a Regular
Cache after the Contest is finished. So, carry Trade Items with
you. Please try to keep the quality of the Trades as being at or
above what you take. This will certainly please the next
finder!!
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
they are placed by special permission of the Caretakers of the
location where they are located. Thank you.
TIMBER PARK, EASTACADA, OREGON
As you approach Estacada you will be starting on the West
Cascades Scenic Route.
This is great Park to enjoy for a Picnic, Walk the Dog, Play
Frisbee or a place to stretch your legs on your Geocache Hunt.
When you come off the Highway and turn Right to get to Timber
Park -- look to your left, there is a Ranger Station and they have
all sorts of literature and for the Kids there are programs that
they can start and do as they enjoy the Outdoors. A great place to
stop and look around!
Estacada has some great murals that are well worth taking a peek
at as you go through town. On the Hill is a new Library that is the
Pride of the Town.
There are other Caches in the area for the Geocacher to find.
But the most significant Geocache in the area is "The Original
Stash Tribute Plaque" that is just outside of town to the
West!!
