Notes for Memorial Day holidays: 1) Please be especially respectful of the large number of flowers that will be in and around the cache site. 2) You should probably avoid leaving trackables in the cache until after all flowers are removed a week or so after Memorial Day; just in case the cache is muggled by ground keeping staff. Thanks!
This cache is placed in memory of my Father and with the appropriate permissions. Dad was a gadget freak and would've had a GPS and been enjoying geocaching if it had been around when he was alive. So this cache is altogether fitting. This fine man not only allowed me to continue living when I did stupid things, sometimes embarrassing him at his work, but also rescued me on a number of occasions, passing up opportunities to let me perish of my own accord. He probably kept me around for entertainment so he could see what kind of creative mischief I would come up with next.
Dad died in 1990, at the age of 74. He had 2 sons, and 5 grandchildren, though one of them wasn't old enough to remember "Grandpa Bob."
Note: The cache is in a large cemetery that provides a wonderful view of the Tualatin valley and the mountains of the coast range, so please be especially respectful of the area. The cache is NOT near any bushes or grounds features, so don't disturb any of the flora or physical decorations. With the coordinates, which are quite accurate, and the above information, you should be able to find the cache with 100% certainty so don't go probing until you are sure you've located it. There are several hints that get progressively more specific and explicit, so don't look at the hints unless you want to spoil the hunt. DO look at the hints if it becomes necessary for you to do so in order to avoid guessing at the cache's location.
This is my first cache; enjoy.
