Welcome to Philomath Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

LiefPhotos: Container was muggled sometime during the holidays. I am not replacing it because there is really only one good hiding spot at that location, and if it got muggled once it will definitely get muggled again. BOO! [:(!]

Geocache Description:

A not-so-quick cache-and-dash as you enter the town of Philomath, Oregon.

Philomath, Oregon was founded in 1867 by the United Brethren Church, and incorporated in 1882. When you visit this cache, we encourage you to learn more about Philomath at the Benton County Historical Society & Museum, which is a short drive away on Highway 20. Another benefit to visiting the museum is another cache ( GC1BY20)!

You are looking for a nano-sized container. Log only, so please bring your own writing instrument. Terrain rated 1.5 because it is not really wheelchair-accessible. Also, it might be best to attempt this one at night because Highway 20 (which is directly next to the cache location) is generally quite busy during the day.

The best parking is at Philomath Plaza (N 44° 32.409 W 123° 21.414).


Congratulations to GlenMart for being FTF!
