Pitfalls of Geocaching Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

pdxmarathonman: As mentioned in the previous log, the cache has been compromised (to put it mildly). Additionally, I just had a conversation with a long-time THPRD employee (and long-time strong geocaching advocate) indicating that he has collected the remains of the cache contents that were strewn about the area of the cache placement.

The park district is in the process of decommissioning many of the minor trails that are making a spider-web of the trail system in the park. With that in mind, I have reluctantly decided it is time to let this cache be archived. I have enjoyed maintaining this cache that was originally placed by annakido, I hope she's not too disappointed in the termination of the cache.

I hope that the geocoin that was in the cache recently has ended up in a responsible cacher's hands.

Geocache Description:

A decent-sized Beaverton park with lots of multi-use traffic. The cache is hidden in a spot where it is easy to find and examine it, unseen by muggles. Just use stealth getting into the area.

This is my first cache placement. This is a nice size park in Beaverton, nestled in amoungst neighborhoods and apartments. It is larger than it looks and is easy to get disoriented, especially since the signal can be 'spotty' under the canopy of the trees. When you find the location you will understand the name of the cache.Original contents include 2 water squirters, 1 small deck of cards and one "magic towel". The cache is a plastic jar.
