Geocache Description:

Camp Sparks is located at Sparks Lake in the Wilderness west of Bend, Oregon. This cache is part of a recent cluster that could make a fine weekend if worked together. Use of a human powered watercraft is required for three of the seven.

Camp Sparks will open your eyes to alternative backcountry camping in the Three Sisters Wilderness. Use of a human powered watercraft is recommended but not required if your tolerance for bush-whacking is high. Canoe/kayak camping is possible as a base for the cluster. Watch out for the very sharp reefs! The original cache contains the log, Geo-advisory notice, an EB Airlines Jumbo Jet (scored from Marooned), dice erasers (8), a yellow clip, a new wrist watch, one jar opener (white), one sealed Cliff Bar (cranberry apple cherry), yellow golf balls (2), pet rocks (blond and brunette, please keep them together), a red clip, a brass military uniform button, one doll button, one red monkey, one butterfly adhesive pack and a catalog of all the USGS quad maps in Oregon. If you come by water, look for the small south side sandy beach. Bring the clue as your GPS may not see well although the coordinates given are based on eight MOB marks over fifteen minutes by two GPS units (an Etrex and a very costly Garman) seeing eight to nine satellites!
