Geocache Description:

Sisters, Oregon is a wonderful town to visit and I think it's deserving of a Challenge Cache of its own.

The listed coordinates are for the closest parking. Final coordinates, for those who qualify, are listed below.

Sister Cities International (see website link above) was created at President Eisenhower’s 1956 White House conference on citizen diplomacy.  Eisenhower envisioned an organization that could be the hub of peace and prosperity by creating bonds between people from different cities around the world.  By becoming friends, President Eisenhower reasoned that people of different cultures could celebrate and appreciate their differences, instead of deriding them, fostering suspicion and sowing new seeds for war. 

Sister Cities International creates relationships based on cultural, educational, information and trade exchanges, creating lifelong friendships that provide prosperity and peace through person-to-person “citizen diplomacy.”

In order to qualify for this Challenge cache, you must have found a cache in two sister cities-- one in a city in the US and one in its official sister city in another country. Any type of cache will be accepted. Please list the cities, GC#, cache names and dates found for each. The difficulty and terrain ratings reflect the intentionality and distance you have to travel to qualify. The actual cache is more like a 1.5/1.5
