Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Gilcrist State Forest, Oregon's sixth and newest State Forest.

Originally owned by the Gilchrist family and their logging company, the land in what became the state forest was sold to Crown Pacific Partners in 1991. With funding from the Oregon State Lottery we now have 43,000 acres of new forest to enjoy in Klamath County.


This is the dreaded micro container in a very predictable spot, put here for travelers who can’t afford to spend an hour hunting for a cache. There is plenty of room to park off the highway, but be sure to keep an eye on your kids and pets.

The cache is located close to a dirt pullout next to a long straight section of US Highway 97. The cache location provides 24 hour off highway parking for most vehicles, season and weather permitting (no off highway parking for big rigs).

Congratulations to tincuphunter, MrWalkie, Ornith and PDXJIM on the FTF!
