oregone: Yup, it's gone. Too bad, as that's the only public land in the St. Paul area that i know of.

Geocache Description:

A pleasant hike (for now) near St. Paul, Oregon.

A fun way to get to this cache would be by kayak. Indeed, sometimes it will be the only way to get to it depending on water levels. But if you're on foot, it's about a quarter mile on a sometimes invisible, always muddy riverside trail from an oft-used rural park. The trail itself isn't so bad, but in a couple months it should be teeming with spiders, nettles, and blackberries as most of these parks right on the willamette seem to be. There are many areas that are washed out due to flooding and lots of downed trees, but nothing too major.

The park borders a large farm owned by my cousin. At least, it's probably my cousin because it seems that i'm related to everyone in this town. So obviously, i've never dated anyone from St. Paul because our babies would have two heads and green blood. Just realize that it's close to a working farm, and the proper precautions should be taken. But you all know that.

I saw deer tracks, heron, beaver marks, hawks, a seaplane, rabbits, a whole gaggle of wild ducks, a snake, and two fishermen the day i planted the cache, so the place is teeming with activity. Therefore, it's hidden out of sight, but still in a normal geocaching location.
Do not get your car stuck in the mud! I'm assuming that's what happened to the station wagon about 50 feet down the trail. It now has blackberries growing out of the dashboard.

The cache is a standard ammo box filled with some pretty good stuff. The most exciting of which is CJ Wheeler's geocaching country music CD that I snagged from Wayside Tom and the Low Pass.

As seems to be my trademark, i forgot to include a stash note. Could ya bring one out there for me?
