Roses are Red, Lavender is ________? Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

CCTDC/ORNITH: Went and checked on this Cache today and it is GONE! There was a Gold Star, with the sentiments "Debbie, You Rock!" engraved on it, very close to its hiding place which I will clean up and drop in another Cache.

Since this Cache has lasted almost 3 years and has been Found about 300 times, it has had a good run. This is a little out of my usual area for Caching, so I am Archiving it.

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.


Again, you will get peeks at Mt Hood!



Take time for a Picnic near the Lavender Fields.



An olde 'Powerwagon'.




In most cases there are

TIME CONSTRAINTS

on the Caches. That means that there are times when they can be accessed and times when they are OFF LIMITS. Please abide by these times as in many cases they are placed by special permission of the Caretakers of the location where they are located. Thank you.

!!There is also a $50 Coupon that goes to the person that posts the Best Photograph to the Logs for a cache in this Series!!
