Geocache Description:


Adventure On the Willamette

An Oregon Tall Tale
retold by
Monkeypirate

We were up-river with a group of cachers looking at all the natural beauties here on the Willamette River when I spied a young sasquatch hiding in the shadow of a tree near a gravel bank. I swung the boat around so we could get a better look, and all the cachers exclaimed and took pictures. It’s not too unusual to see a sasquatch in the spring. That’s the time they migrate through here to their summer stomping grounds up North.

We were in for a treat today. The sasquatch jumped out of the shadows suddenly, leapt into the riverbank, and wrestled a two foot ammo can onto the gravel bank. I blinked in astonishment. I didn’t know sasquatch liked geocaching.  As we watched, the sasquatch belted the big box with a rock to get it to open.

Right at that moment, a big black bear came stomping down the bank on the opposite shore looking for an adventure. The bear took one look at the sasquatch with the geocache, sitting on the opposite shore, and leapt into the water. In the blink of an eye, that ol’ bear was across the river and wading out of the water, while the cachers babbled and took pictures. The bear shook itself dry like a dog, and then jumped onto the back of the sasquatch, beating on him until he ran away from the geocache, leaving the bear to sniff in triumph over the large prize.

Well, I thought that was the end of it, until the sasquatch came running back down the hill holding a dead tree in his hands. He started beating on the bear and the bear was whomping back at him something fierce. Fur was flying everywhere. I don’t know where it would have ended if I hadn’t jumped on in there and broke it up!
