Dream Catcher Traditional Cache

A cache at the Daybreak Boat Launch - should be a fairly easy find although it can be pretty busy here when the fish are running.

Dreamcatchers originated with the Ojibwe people and were later adopted by some neighboring nations through intermarriage and trade. It wasn't until the 1960s and 1970s that they were adopted by Native Americans of a number of different nations. Some consider the dreamcatcher a symbol of unity among the various Indian Nations, and a general symbol of identification with Native American or First Nations cultures. However, many other Native Americans have come to see dreamcatchers as over-commercialized, offensively misappropriated and misused by non-Natives.

Dream big here and you might catch a big one.  The East fork of the Lewis River is popular for fishing, rafting, and swimming.  At the time of placement, however we are in a major drought so the river is very low.  Look low for this cache and rehide well.
