The name of this cache, kawkawak, is the Chinook word for yellow. 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 24th hide, celebrating my 240th find. The cache is hidden about 1.6 miles from the parking coordinates
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. The park runs along a lot of private property, so be respectful, and stay on the trail. This is especially important when choosing your parking space. I've given parking coordinates along Rain Garden Lane. This is a public road, so the no trespassing signs are a little confusing.
This is my 14th 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.
