Geocache Description:

Third cache in the CABLE (Camp Adair Building Locator Exercise) series. Look for a camoed container. PLEASE WATCH YOUR STEP! Though the ground is generally level, there are some spots where there are ruts and holes! If you are interested in more Camp Adair facts and history, be sure to check out the Adair Living History "Related Web Page." The link is on this cache page just below the difficulty and terrain rating.

Stars at Night N44*42.041 W123*12.313.  The third in the CABLE series

This was the central theater with seating for 800 and located on Theater Avenue.  There were four additional larger theaters in camp with seating for 1,200 each.  A little off time to visit the movie theaters was probably enjoyed by many of the soliders training at Camp Adair; however, the large capacities of the theaters helps put into perspective the magnitude of the training facilities at Camp Adair.

A theater was located in each of the four quadrants. 

An achived cache (Stairway to Heaven) was located at the theater in the southwest quadrant.

The theater in the northwest quadrant is in a posted "no access" area (near its southwest corner).

The theater in the northeast quadrant is the location of the cache titled "Movie Time-1943".

The theater in the south-east quadrant is at N44*41.5732 W123*12.2157.  Look for a sign that says "Wildlife Viewing Blind" and follow the trail. Fish & Wildlife has filled in the foundation, but they did leave a shelter with a bench and the sloped foundation walls of the theater are still visible.

Additional Hints (Decrypt)

[ Camp Adair Building Locating Exercise series Just a note to those who are searching for my cable caches. Some of these sites have not been seen for decades by the general public. So, that means that a lot of them are very overgrown with blackberry vines, etc. I have read a couple logs about difficulty finding their way in (at first), just remember, you are following a 69 year old. So, use your head, as well as your GPS. If the way is difficult, you are probably not going the way I did. So back up and circle around, there is a way in.]
