This is the first of three Scrabble Caches located in a wonderful park in SW Portland. This park is not fully developed and some of the trails are steep and can be treacherous when wet. There are routes to get to each cache without traversing steep and slippery trails so use patience and care.
You know those little wooden squares with letters used to play the Scrabble game? This cache is similar to Scrabble as the letter clues are also wooden. But the letters are somewhat larger and immovable.
There are three separate caches that are hidden in trees in this park. They are labeled One, Two and Three although the order that these caches are found is not important. Each cache is hidden near an object: the lower part of that object resembles a single letter. Your task is to find each cache and log it, determine the single letter that each tree resembles and then arrange the three letters to form a word. You must also determine how many points this word would be worth if it were the first word entered in an actual Scrabble game. Email your answer to us when you have finished the three caches. DO NOT ENTER THE LETTERS, WORD OR SCORE IN THE LOGS.
You will not need to bushwhack to find this cache. This cache is hidden near a main trail. This cache is not hidden in ivy. No one should ever hide a cache in ivy. We hate ivy.
There is a perception by the park managers that geocachers are causing damage to sensitive areas within the park (note the signs in the park for geocachers to stay on trails). As mentioned above, these caches are located very near to established trails. There is absolutely NO reason to do any bushwacking or cross the creek without going over a bridge to get to these caches. If folks do not follow these simple rules, we will have to remove the caches in the park. GPS signals in the park are very weak. If you walk slowly as you near the near the caches, you can get more reliable readings.
