- ONE OF TEN CACHES -
There are ten Geocaches in this series that forms the Mt Hood
Territory Geocache Contest sponsored by the Clackamas County
Tourism and Cultural Affairs (CCTCA).
The 10 caches in the Series are: GC1DJTK, GC1DJTP, GC1DADX,
GC1DJTW, GC1DJV7, GC16Z4N, GC1DJV9, GC1DJVB, GC1DJVD, AND AND
------ PLEASE NOTE: Cache GC1DJVN has been archived and can no
longer be 'Logged'. A substitute has been set at a new site. That
Cache is GC1EFCM and, once again, 10 Caches will constitute
completion of the Mt Hood Territory Series.
Good Luck!
The actual Geocaches are all similar and can be identified by
the
Barn Red-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 Contest
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 "LILAC" is an example.) There are various
items in the Cache that are there for trade. You may leave Travel
Bugs, Geocoins and other tradeables in the Cache for the next
finders as this will remain a Regular Geocache after the Contest is
over. 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.
