The name of this cache, ipsoot, is the Chinook word for hide. 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 23st hide, celebrating my 230th find. The cache is hidden about 1.4 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.
This is my 13th 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.
