Geocache Description:

Another great cache along the Crown Zellerbach Trail.

The name of this cache, E'celqcelq, is the Chinook word for porcupine. Since I live in Scappoose (the Chinook word for gravelly plain), I thought it would be fun to name my caches in Chinook. I've mostly been using Chinook Jargon which is easier to manage, but there doesn't seem to be a word in Chinook jargon for porcupine. This is my thirteenth hide, celebrating my 130th find.

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.

This is my third letterbox cache. I only just became interested letter boxing earlier this year, and there are so few in this area that I decided right away that I wanted to start hiding a few.
