Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the posted coordinates. Container is a lock and lock connected to natural camo. There is a small collection of stamps in the container that you may trade for. Please do not remove the stamp or ink pad from the separate bag. These stay with the cache for letter boxers.

Please consider giving this a favorite point for Ornith's 2014 challenge. Thank you!


Letterbox Hybrids pay homage to the old scavenger hunt of Letterboxing. Letterboxing typically involves starting at one point and following directions to a final location, which is more like a multi than the traditional that most all letterbox hybrids model. This cache pays specific homage to that characteristic of letterboxing. (I borrowed this text from longtrails)

Begin your search at the posted coordinates. From the sign marking the corner of 108th Ave. and Tualatin Dr., follow a paved path STEEPLY down toward the river. (Do not underestimate the steepness of this path; it can be treacherous when wet or when covered with leaves and never attempt this during icy conditions.) The path curves left and then flattens out.

On your right you will see a post with a 1.6 mile marker on it. From this point continue about 100 steps (more or less depending on the length of your stride) until you arrive at a cedar tree on your right. You can tell it's a cedar tree because the bark is smooth and you can tell it's the correct cedar tree because if you look up towards the canopy you will see some distinct woodpecker holes..

Behind this tree is an ivy covered stump and behind that stump on the ground is your naturally camoed container. Please make sure the camo is right side up when you leave so the container stays hidden.
