Geocache Description:

This search for this cache will bring you to some trails in Corvallis which you may not be familiar with.

This area is filled with formal trails and deer paths. There are even some old growth trees in the area. This cache is fairly close to a very popular trail, so please use extreme stealth when looking for the cache.

You are looking for a camo'ed peanut butter jar. Tree cover will make your GPS jump, so use your geosenses.

This is not meant to be a challenging hide ... it's really meant to get you out exploring a new area. Because the coords are pretty soft due to the tree cover, here is a good description of where you should be looking: You are looking for a camo'ed peanut butter jar, which is hidden under some bark. There is a large (18 inch diameter) tree on the ground; cache is about 30 feet up from the end of the tree nearest the trail. If you see an overhead wire, then you are in the right spot!

While checking on this one recently, I came across a tupperware geocache about 50 feet away ... not sure what the story is for that one; if you find the tupperware container, which is up near signpost #14, you have found the wrong container ... move further down the trail and keep looking!

Parking, and the best access point to this system of paths is at N44 35.460 W123 17.460
