Historical Trolley Line Reborn as Rail-Trail
It was an idea, the develoment of a trail over the once old trolley lines between Milwaukie and Gladstone. The dream has become reality in that the trail now connects the bike lanes of Milwaukie and Gladestone to the Metro regional trail system which makes up part of the 20 mile continuous loop of Portland, Gladstone Milwauke, Oregon City and Gresham.

THE RULES:
1. The Chamber of North Clackamas reserves the right to modify the rules at anytime and for any reason. It is suggested that until you have earned and picked up your geocoin that you place cache GC56F0A on your ‘watch list’ so that you will become notified of any rules or substitutions that occur (see further remarks below).
2. There is a limit of 1 geocoin per geocaching family.
3. You must ‘find’ and ‘log’ on geocaching.com and enter on your registration card the 7 geocaches and codewords that you have ‘found’ from the list below plus 3 more geocaches of your choice from the North Clackamas area. All geocaches must be ‘found’ within 30 days of claiming your earned geocoin.
4. In the event that you are unable to negotiate the terrain to 'find' a required cache or cannot gain access to the cache for any reason, you may substitute any other North Clackamas area cache for one cache. Please point out that change to the person that you submit your registration card to at the redemption site when you go to claim your coin.

NOTIFICATIONS of CHANGES and SUBSTITUTIONS.
If at any time during this challenge a substitute cache must be placed, a note will be placed on GC56F0A’s web page as the last item in the body of the cache information page (just above where you find the “Hint”). This note will be the single source of information about any changes or cache substitutions so please place GC56F0A on your “Watch List” if you want to receive email notification.
Click to add GC56F0A to your "Watch list" page.
GSAK Users
Can download this GPX file. Once you have the file then drag the file onto GSAK, automatically it will give you your defualt GPX database. Normally I use another database for current searchs, otherwise filter the imported caches. You can load the GPX file which has the GC code and name, then (do not worry eroneous information that appears since at this date the caches were not published) go to the menu of GSAK and drop down the "Geocaching.com access" menu then choose "refresh cache data". There you go. (This will remain active until the Challenge is over.)
