Are you the one?
The search continues…
Leaders are emerging...
Will it be you?
This is the Sixth cache
within the “Are
You THE ONE?” series.
The cache container is a
regular sized .30 ammo can.
While placing this cache,
we used three different GPSr's, but only one unit could get a lock (my Magellan
Sportrak Color for those that care). I guess that says some good things about
the quad helix antenna. I'm not sure how perfect the coordinates are, though
I did spend a bit of time allowing the GPS to average. The coordinates should
still easily get you within 50 feet. Because of this though, I am including
photo clues for you to look at. PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTO CLUES!
I don't want anybody to go out there and have to log a DNF because their GPS
didn't work. With the photo clues, it should be no problem.
The cache is located near
Nehalem Falls Campground.
This is a truly incredibly beautiful area that I am sure you will enjoy. If
you have the time, take a day or two and go camping here as well. It is very
reasonably priced 'first come - first served' campground. I highly recommend
the 'walk in' area, these spots are only $5 a night, while the drive in spots
are $10 a night. My Pacific Northwest camping book rates it as a 10/10 for overall
scenery. You don't need to get a spot to find this cache though. There is a
day use area where you can park just outside the campground. There are two sets
of falls on this section of the river and some pretty cool rocks to climb on
near the riverside.
To find the cache, follow
your GPS... :) and if that fails, then find the walking 'loop' trail inside the campground
and follow it around. The loop is about 1/2 mile total. About halfway around the parking area, you will find the trailhead to this 'loop' trail that will take you to a
cool looking wooden bench. Have a seat on this bench and look towards the
river. From here you can see the area where the cache is placed. You should
see a stump that looks like
this. The cache is placed near this stump.

There
was a very interesting spoon
nearby when I placed this cache, so in honor of that, I have named this cache
after it. And what do you know... it still maintains the Matrix theme. :)
Matrix - "Do not
try to bend the spoon, that's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth...
There is no spoon... Then you will see that it is not the spoon that bends,
it is only yourself."
When you find the
cache, you will need to pay close attention to a grid printed on the lid of
the cache. DO NOT REMOVE this grid from the cache .
Pay attention to
the EXACT location of the numbers on this grid. You will probably want to make
yourself a sketch of the position of each number for later use.
**To determine the final
cache location (and prove that you are THE ONE), you will need to find the location
of each cache in this series and then solve the final puzzle. Each cache will
vary in type, size, design and location.**
