It's been a long many roads searching the hills for the NW Passage to Vernonia to place a power trail going there from the SE. Yes, Lewis and Clark were never faced with 8 or 10" steel I-beams, pad locks, trenches and berms of earth. Things canoes and packs could be hauled around that stuff but Geocachers are a little more picky about packing SUV over and around obstacles. Again this week, we start out in hopes of finding a passage but more than that places to plant caches
This week Mnkjohnson provided transportation as we picked up some of the local caches as we tried to put together route. Like Clark, who would have blazed a tree we opted to plant a cache to mark our way. Meriwether would have penned that the clouds were open and the sun had fled yet we were of good spirits. The progress was slow and the way narrow but our steed had firm footing to push on.
The marker will be found on the lower face of the tree facing the ground.
Good luck to those who come after.
