Geocache Description:

This is a fun and easy to find cache. Just follow Lewis and Clark with a view of Haystack Rock to your south, North Beach to your right and the beautiful Pacific Ocean as your horizon.

PLEASE CAREFULLY REPLACE THE CACHE SO IT'S FULLY HIDDEN YET EASILY FOUND... THANK YOU!

First, some history... President Thomas Jefferson had long wanted to see what the lands of western North America were like. With the approval of Congress, he made plans even before the Louisiana Purchase was completed. He asked Meriwether Lewis, his secretary, to head the expedition and to selected his own co-captain. Lewis chose William Clark, who once had been his commanding officer in the army. Sacajawea is well-known as the Indian woman who led Lewis and Clark on their famous expedition to find the Pacific Ocean. The truth is a bit different from the movie and children's book versions, however. In fact, Sacajawea was not officially a member of the expedition party. Her husband, Toussaint Charbonneau, was hired as an interpreter and took Sacajawea along. She was allowed to join the party as an unofficial member because the captains thought she would be useful to help in communicating with some of the Indian tribes they met and also in obtaining horses from her native tribe, the Shoshone. Seek and find the statue of Lewis and Clark and Sacajawea pointing, or giving approximate directions to the cache. Their point as such proves that they did not have a GPS system and therefore never could have enjoyed the fun of geocaching! In this geocaching treasure chest you will find a trinket left by each member of our big family who meet in Cannon Beach each year. We all come from two countries and three different states for family fun, great pizza, awesome candy, maple bars and jolting Bumper Cars. Sign the log, leave something and take something... we sure hope you have fun!
