The name of this cache, Kwinnum, is the Chinook jargon word for five. Since I live in Scappoose (the Chinook word for gravelly plain), I thought it would be fun to name my caches in Chinook. This is my fifth hide, celebrating my 50th find Pittock Mansion
The Crown Zellerbach trail was once a logging road and before that, a logging railroad. Today it is a linear county park. It is a rails to trails project that is progressing very slowly in my opinion, but it is a very welcome project.
I first hid this cache with my eight-year-old daughter and her nine-year-old friend, on a warm summer evening in July 2011, but that spot has caused all sorts of trouble, so I moved it to the other side of the trail in October 2012. Enjoy.
