The States and Capitals caches are small 1.5 X 1.5 containers – no film canisters on this trail Please leave the containers at each location as this is not designed to be a power trail where one can grab and replace the containers. We have included multiple pages for each log so that the log sheets will endure 100’s of signatures - feel free to add a sheet to the container if you come prepared with pre-printed logs, however, please leave the original logs in place so that we can avoid unnecessary maintenance.
The road is sandy/rocky in spots and we would recommend a high clearance vehicle.
Hope you enjoy a fun day in the desert as you find out a bit more about the 50 states/capitals – TVGA

Oregon is also one of four major world hazelnut growing regions, and produces 95% of the domestic hazelnuts in the United States.
While the history of the wine production in Oregon can be traced to before Prohibition, it became a significant industry beginning in the 1970s. In 2005, Oregon ranked third among U.S. states with 303 wineries. Due to regional similarities in climate and soil, the grapes planted in Oregon are often the same varieties found in the French regions of Alsace and Burgundy.
