Geocache Description:


If you are approaching this Cache from the South and you come to a dirt road that seems to go toward the Cache, don't take that road -- it is a Private Driveway. Jog to the right and continue North! That will get you to the correct entry point at the Swan Island Dahlia Farm Sign!!

SWAN ISLAND DAHLIA FARM


THIS CACHE IS A REQUIRED CACHE TO EARN THE 2009 CANBY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE GEOCOIN.

Canby, OREGON




This Cache is located, with permission of the Owners, at Swan
Island Dahlia Farm in Canby, Oregon. Thanks, Folks, for a great
place to visit and find a Cache!




Come on down to Canby, Oregon "The Garden City" and enjoy the
ongoing flowers and festivities!




We have a "Caboose", as a home for the Historical Society, that
makes the past interesting and informative.




And if you go North past the Swan Island Dahlia Farm and Mollala
River State Park, you can take a ride on a really small ferry! I
understand that Walk-Ons (pedestrians) are free -- but you better
check first or you'll have to part with $1.25 for 'taking up
space', maybe??




Hey! The Ferry even has a cable tied to it so it can't get
away!! Then, stop by Swan Island and walk though the Dahlia Fields.
It will be a bit early for blooms in the first few weeks of July
but later -- WOW!! You can even pack a Picnic Lunch and enjoy it in
the shade while you are there.


There are other Caches in the area for the Geocacher to find.
Including one right by where you wait for the Ferry!
