Geocache Description:


JUST AS THE TITLE SAYS

Another super easy cache.

The other end of a major arterial through Washington County. Hall Blvd. is seven miles, as a bird flies, from Cedar Hills Crossing to Tigard High School.

In May of 1845, the Hall Family (natives of Kentucky who lived in Missouri) began their trek to the Oregon territory. The wagon train they were a part of tried to shorten the journey by taking a little explored trail, and encountered illness, battles, a dwindling water supply, and numerous deaths.

But the Halls made it.

In the spring of 1847, the first land claim (comprising 640 acres of Beaverdam) located in what is now Beaverton was taken up by Lawrence Hall. He and his brother built a grist mill near present-day Walker Road. Their mill along with others that were soon built in the area was instrumental in supporting Oregon's early agriculture communities. Hall Boulevard in Beaverton and Tigard is named after this pioneer family.

The above info was gathered from www.beavertonoregon.gov/1122/History

The log is "Rite in the Rain" paper. If its wet you can still write on it.
