GeoCrater: I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no word from the owner in the month or more since the last reviewer note was posted. If you want to re-activate the cache during the next couple of months, please contact GeoCrater to see if that's possible. If the cache meets current guidelines, consideration will be given based on the circumstances surrounding the original archival.

Additional translation added as I support a number of countries:

Lamento archivar este caché, ya que no ha habido ninguna comunicación del propietario en el tiempo transcurrido (un mes o más) desde que se publicó la nota del revisor.

Geocache Description:


*********************************************************
Caches are not allowed in Milo McIver. Clackamas Geocaching Association asked for and received special permission to place caches within the park.

Please do not place any caches within the park without permission from the parks management.
*********************************************************



THERE IS A $3 DAY-USE FEE FOR THIS PARK so plan to visit as many caches in the park as you can!

**PARK ONLY IN DESIGNATED PARKING LOTS, TURN OUTS AND MARKED SPACES ONLY. DO NOT PARK ON THE SHOULDER OR IN THE ROADWAY!**

This cache is part of a beginner’s course to help people who are starting in the sport of Geocaching. All the caches should be able to be reached within easy walking distance of the roadway and requires no bushwhacking. The caches are not visible from the street but are visible once you are close.

We have been granted special permission to place these caches in the park so please tread lightly as you are hunting and remember that this set of caches are all within easy walking distance of the road.

This course has been designed for beginners to start at cache #1 and work their way through the caches numerically.

Current day-use hours are posted at the park entrance but a basic rule of thumb is sunrise to sunset. $3 daily day-use fee or buy a 12-month permit for $25, or a 24-month permit for $40. The 1- and 2-year permits are good at all state park day-use areas.

Situated along the scenic Clackamas River, McIver State Park is only 45 minutes from Portland. This beautiful park provides a variety of outstanding recreational opportunities.

Within this little-known gem, you can spend a day or a week exploring the river, forest and fields. River-lovers can challenge the sometimes wild (but always picturesque) Clackamas River with rafts, canoes or kayaks.

Prefer to stay dry? You can hike, or ride your horse. Still too sweaty for you? Spend a lazy afternoon playing the year-round, 27-hole disc golf course. Discs are available at the park to rent or buy.

If you're planning a special gathering, reservable picnic sites with a shelter are available. If you just need to get away for a while, individual and group campsites are waiting for you. When staying at McIver during the summer, we have family-oriented interpretive programs -- from guided hikes to nature crafts. An annual civil war re-enactment occurs in September. More than 300 actors participate.

McIver State Park offers something for everyone. See you there!
