Geocache Description:


This geocache is located in a small lake off the main Lake Oswego lake which I call "Dead Man's Lake". Everytime I've been down there, many bubbles float to the surface (Think Dead Marshes from LOTR). Maybe fish, maybe frogs? Maybe...? Who knows, but if you hard enough you'll get to see some!

CAUTION: STEEP! AND SLIPPERY WHEN WET!
Please take extra caution when attempting this one! The cache itself it fairly easy to find once you get to bottom of the man-made trail, but the way down is VERY steep; wear jeans and good shoes! It's a short way down, with some branches, a large root to grab, and even the local teenagers have placed a steel cable to hang onto on the way down (or up). The best way I've found is to slowly go down the ivy patch to the left of the trail. I'm 20 and it's not too bad for me, but once you're down it's smooth sailing.

If anyone finds a better way down, let me know!

Cache is a small wooden box with a log, a TB, and few other items for the taking. Once you're there turn around to see a good view of the place, and check it all out! Please rehide well!
