Geocache Description:

This is a multi-cache located in Cline Falls State Scenic Viewpoint (formerly known as Cline Falls State Park). From the beginning coordinates, YOU WILL NEED A COMPASS to derive the first waypoint; this will direct you to a micro, which will then lead you to the final cache.


According to “Oregon Geographic Names”, by Lewis A. McArthur, Cline Falls were named for Dr. C. A. Cline (1850-1926), a well-known Redmond dentist who owned the falls. Nearby Cline Buttes received their name from the same source. The actual falls are located north of the park property, but this stretch of the Deschutes River is very scenic, and well worth a visit.

The coordinates given are the starting point. You will be in a grassy area, near a tight grouping of three large, smooth, flat boulders.

Stand in the center of the middle boulder. From here, at approximately 260 degrees magnetic, you will see a tall wood object. Be sure you identify the correct object, there are two. You want the one nearest the river. Approach and look for a six-digit number.

XX = the last 2 digits of this number.

Y = the 4th digit of this number.

Micro cache coordinates:
N 44° 16.XX8'
W 121° 15.30Y'

Inside the micro cache are the coordinates to the final cache. Head back downhill and follow the trail along the river.

The cache is a small-to-medium ammo box.

Enjoy!
