Unfortunately this cache got archived so since I had a fun time doing the original I decided to redux it, so here is my version of this cache using some of the old and some new to bring it back.
I have put in parking coodinates for you to start your journey threw time but first a little history:
Camp Polk was established in 1865 adjacent to Squaw Creek, just three miles northeast of the City of Sisters. The military detachment, which established the camp, were men of Company A, 1st Oregon Volunteer Infantry, commanded by Captain Charles LaFollette. Leaving Ft. Yamhill, this was the first military group to cross the Cascades via the new Santiam Road. Upon arriving at the site adjacent to Squaw Creek, Captain LaFollette named the camp Polk after his home country. Here the men prepared a parade ground, trimmed a tall tree for a flagpole and built eight cabins. Before winter operations could be initiated against the Indians, word was received from the Chief of the Army to muster out all volunteers. Subsequently, the Camp Polk detachment remained in winter quarters and in the spring of 1866 returned to their home, thus ending the brief military history of Camp Polk.
During 1879, Samuel M.W. Hindman and his family homesteaded the Camp Polk site. In 1875, Hindman established a post office and a store and became the community's first postmaster. At this time, the area between the Cascades and the Deschutes River was virtually uninhabited, but destined to bustle with the future movement of cattle and sheep over the Santiam Pass.(from the City of Sisters Comprehensive Plan 1999 Update (draft), Appendix C, and edited by Eric Porter)

For the rest of this cache you might want to make sure you have a pencil and paper along with a calculator.
And at the final you should be able to spot the cords for the bonus.
NOTE: If you did the original cache here the final has been moved to a new spot.
The cords out here seem to jump somewhat so you might have to look around a little to find the gravesites. And one last note, when there is snow on the ground you might want to wait till better weather since it will be alot harder to locate some of the gravestones since most of them are at ground level.
Congratulations to Shawna426 on her first ever {*FTF*}.
