Geocache Description:


Mt. Tabor Park reservoir area. Initial coordinates are for the best parking spot for this cache's purposes. Best access is from Salmon st. from off of 60th ave.

First of all, enjoy the view of the city. Amazing from up here.


Find the reservoir (there are several in the park) where somewhere along its circumferent sidewalk/path there is a small, round, old stone sink/basin under a small half-shell alcove (complete with a metal stepping bar for having a sip - back in the day). What is the year engraved in the stone above the sink? (That's an OLD sink!)

Add that number to both of the following coordinates' minutes (in decimal minute format): N 45-28.592, W 122-33.798
The resulting coordinates are the cache location.

Hint: Look for a hollow branch-collar's woundwood frame.

Good luck and have fun! -RB
