Geocache Description:


I have lived in Plains for a long time and noticed that there were no caches in town so I decided to plant this one in town. The sign coming into Plains says “Where mountians meet rivers and the wild horses wintered” and that is where this cache got its name. My cousin who now lives in Portland helped me set up this cache. I hope to see more caches near Plains in the future. This is a micro cache in a black altoids can. It contains a logbook and some small items. It might not be a bad idea to bring your own pen to sign the logbook. Go to all four locations to find the coordinates for the final location of the cache. Be discrete there can be a lot of people around especially in the summer. Enjoy the hunt.
