Geocache Description:

Local folklore tells us that Simon Benson donated the 20 bronze drinking fountains as an effort to keep loggers out of the saloons at lunchtime. Others say that Benson was inspired after seeing a little girl crying at a 4th of July parade because she couldn't find a drink of water. Either way, the Benson Bubblers have become a historical and enduring legacy here in Portland.​

Small micro near the Benson Bubbler fountain. When you find the cache, drink from the fountain which runs all day. If you Do Not Find the cache your penalty is to take 20 sips of water from the fountain because Simon Benson originally placed 20 bronze fountains back in 1917 as an effort to keep loggers out of the saloons at lunchtime thus making the Benson Bubblers a historical and enduring legacy here in Portland.
