Geocache Description:

Your looking for a small painted plastic container with some swag, a log and a pencil will be needed.

It's been a long road searching the hills for the NW Passage to Vernonia for a power trail going there from the SE. This is the second stop as yet the journey had not encountered those things that Lewis and Clark were never faced with 8 or 10" steel I-beams, pad locks, trenches and berms of earth. Canoes and packs could be packed around this stuff but Geocachers are a little more picky about packing SUV over and around this stuff.

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 base of what was a tree.
Good luck to those who come after.
