I drove by here the other day and found a good spot to hide a cache so went and made a special container and put it in place.
Established in 1918, the Central Oregon Irrigation District (“COID”) is a Municipal Corporation of the State of Oregon.
The system consists of two main canals: the Pilot Butte Canal, which runs north, through Bend, Redmond and Terrebonne; and the Central Oregon Canal, which runs east, through Bend, Alfalfa and Powell Butte. Both canals divert water from the Deschutes River.
The District provides water for about 45,000 acres within an 180,000 acre area in Central Oregon. More than 700 miles of canals provide agricultural and industrial water to the Terrebonne, Redmond, Bend, Alfalfa and Powell Butte areas. In addition, COID provides water to the City of Redmond and numerous subdivisions; in Bend, many parks and schools receive water through the COID system.
In 1989, COID commissioned and completed the Siphon Power Project. Profits from the power plant will be returned to the District to be used for capital improvements to make our distribution system more efficient.
In addition, the COID is the managing partner in the operation of the 55,000 acre foot Crane Prairie Reservoir, located on the east side of the Central Cascades.
There is parking close to the cache, you can park on the street or on the ditch rider road. Since it is close to the canal watch kids and pets when the water is on. It is a log only cache so don't forget your writing stick to sign the log. Please replace it just as found and tighten the lid on but not too tight so the next cacher can undo it. And as always have a great Caching day.
Congratulations to TurtleLP on the FTF.
