Geocache Description:

This two-stage multi-cache is located in 29-acre Lowami Hart Woods Park of the Tualatin Hills Parks & Recreation District. The listed coordinates are of WP #1, which will give you the coordinates of WP #2 (the actual cache). I suggest parking in the couple of small “pull-out” parking areas along Hart Road (N 45 27.943 / W 122 49.958).

GPSr reception is very inconsistent due to the heavy canopy throughout the park. Because of this, DUST OFF YOUR COMPASS (that is if you can still find it) – you may need it for the hint listed for WP #1. I have also included a “super spoiler” picture of the cache site should you get to the point of utter desperation.

As the name implies, there may be a time, or two, when you will need to have full control of your faculties. Although losing your balance on this beam will only likely result in soggy sneakers (and some awesome footage for America’s Funniest Home Videos), it’s probably not advised after a night out on the town with your Geocaching buddies.

You should be able to access everything by existing trails; so extreme bushwhacking will not be necessary (or encouraged).

Have fun. I hope you enjoy this one.
