The Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, commonly also known as
the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and officially known as the Lewis
and Clark Centennial American Pacific Exposition and Oriental Fair,
was a worldwide exposition held in Portland, Oregon, United States
in 1905 to celebrate the centennial of the Lewis and Clark
Expedition.
While not officially considered a World's Fair by the Bureau of
International Expositions, it is often informally described as
such; the exposition attracted both exhibits and visitors from
around the world. During the exposition's four month run, it
attracted over 1.6 million visitors, and featured exhibits from 21
countries. Portland grew from 161,000 to 270,000 residents between
1905 and 1910, a spurt that has been attributed to the
exposition.
The cache is not at the listed coordinates though they are close
by. The coordinates will take you to a plaque where you can read
about the building that now resides here as the land it sits on was
used for the exposition.You will need to find the answers to the
following questions to get the correct coordinates.

AA = # of nations included in the exhibition + 11
BB = King Louis replica drawing room + 10
C = Month which exposition opened
DD = Year the Forestry Building burned to the ground –
1922
EE = # of long unhewn logs used to build the Forestry Building +

Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope you enjoy
reading about this neat exposition.
Please use stealth and watch for muggles. Please also keep the
cache pushed back and out of view. Any DNF will get an extra hint.
