The cache is located to the west of the rowdy little town of Chiloquin. Hidden in the trees is a cache container large enough to hold a log book,pen, and trade items.
Please put it back where you found it and as always trade up or trade even. Parking near by at the Pacific Pride parking lot. Its an easy on/off HWY 97 no matter which way your headed whether your on a motorcycle or a semi hauling triples. Have fun and enjoy the hide.
The Chiloquin area is roughly 540 square miles in south-central Oregon in the heart of Klamath County and is home to about 3800 people. The city of Chiloquin was incorporated in 1926, and in July of 2008 had a population of 720.
To the west of the Chiloquin area are the Cascade Mountains; to the east are primarily basin and range. The confluence of the Williamson and Sprague Rivers is in Chiloquin and there are numerous creeks, vast marshes and wetlands as well as Upper Klamath and Agency Lakes in the area. Residents and visitors alike enjoy the scenic beauty and wide variety of outdoor recreational opportunities of the area: camping, hiking, bird watching, boating, rodeos, world-class fly fishing, hunting and much more. Crater Lake National park is just a short distance north.
In its formative years in the 1920's and the 1930's Chiloquin was a rowdy little boomtown, often referred to as "Little Chicago". The closure of the lumber mills has changed Chiloquin to a quiet little town, but there exists in the area a population of forward-looking individuals who are working towards steady, controlled regeneration and the town is gaining respect among many in surrounding communities.
