Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Breaks Geocaching Challenge!

Before the description begins, the purpose of this challenge is to get folks on the trails in the beautiful Breaks Interstate Park. So what better way to entice geocachers on the trails than with a pathtag reward. The pathtag reward will resemble the Breaks Interstate Park seal. You must find 20 caches before the coordinates for the first stage of this cache are given to you. You will be visiting many trails, the overlooks, and perhaps a few Earthcaches. Your adventures will take you from the top of the gorge, eventually down to the river. 1. Find the necessary caches. 2. Take a picture of you with your GPSr at each cache, without revealing the cache location. 3. If you own a cache in the Breaks, you may claim your own cache, a photo of yourself at your cache is required. 4. If you have already found the caches, revisit and get your picture taken, submitting a note on the cache page, including your photo. 5. Create a public bookmark titled Breaks Interstate Park. 6. Include this cache in your bookmark list as well as the caches you use to meet the requirement. 7. In the bookmark cache comments, include the date you found the cache. 8. When finished, you will be on or near 15 hiking trails and the Mountain Bike Trail series. 9. You will have visited 20 caches. Sixteen of those caches are on the trails. Listed below are the trails with caches on them, excluding the River Trail. There are four other caches that you must visit in addition to the trail caches. They are also listed below. If you have previously found and photographed yourself at an archived cache, you may use that cache. 10. Please contact the owner of any cache that might need maintenance. Contact the Breaks staff at BreaksGeocaching@gmail.com if the owner does not maintain the cache. 11. Once you have completed all of your finds and pictures, finish your bookmark list, contact the Breaks staff at BreaksGeocaching@gmail.com . They will look over your information and forward the appropriate coordinates to the final cache. 12.
