2007 MT HOOD TERRITORY GEOCACHING CONTEST
(This Contest is over.)
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 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.
SWAN ISLAND DAHLIA FARM
Canby, OREGON
This Cache is located, with permission of the Owners, at Swan
Island Dahlia Farm in Canby, Oregon. Thanks, Folks, for a great
place to visit and find a Cache!
Come on down to Canby, Oregon "The Garden City" and enjoy the
ongoing flowers and festivities!
We have a "Caboose", as a home for the Historical Society, that
makes the past interesting and informative.
And if you go North past the Swan Island Dahlia Farm and Mollala
River State Park, you can take a ride on a really small ferry! I
understand that Walk-Ons (pedestrians) are free -- but you better
check first or you'll have to part with $1.25 for 'taking up
space', maybe??
Hey! The Ferry even has a cable tied to it so it can't get
away!! Then, stop by Swan Island and walk though the Dahlia Fields.
It will be a bit early for blooms in the first few weeks of July
but later -- WOW!! You can even pack a Picnic Lunch and enjoy it in
the shade while you are there.
There are other Caches in the area for the Geocacher to find.
Including one right by where you wait for the Ferry!
