Geocache Description:

Another great cache along the Crown Zellerbach Trail

The name of this cache, Káhnaway, is the Chinook word for acorn. 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 20th hide, celebrating my 200th 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. My nine-year-old daughter helped choose the hiding place.

This is my 10th letterbox cache. I only just became interested in letter boxing earlier this year (2012), and there are so few in this area that I decided right away that I wanted to start hiding a few. Remember: letterboxes include stamps, which are not trade items. I placed the stamp in a labeled bag. I placed the SWAG in another labeled bag, so you shouldn't get them mixed up.
