Welcome to Cottonwood Beach, a scenic stretch along the Columbia River with plenty of history and great views. This spot is popular with walkers, families, and anyone who enjoys the river breeze. Keep an eye out for passing boats, eagles overhead, and the ever-changing river.
Your mission: locate a medium-sized camo container that's very well hidden. This one is not your average park-and-grab. You'll need patience, sharp eyes, and a bit of geosense to track it down. The hide is designed to blend in perfectly with its surroundings, so don't give up too quickly.
This container is large enough for small swag and trackables, so feel free to trade fairly and move bugs along their journey. Please re-hide it exactly as you found it to keep the challenge alive for the next cacher.
History Note:
This area is more than just a riverside park - it's part of history. In the fall of 1805, the Lewis & Clark Expedition camped near Cottonwood Beach as they made their way down the Columbia River. They spent several days here again in the spring of 1806 on their return journey. Standing here, you're walking in the footsteps of explorers who mapped the way to the Pacific.
