Good Luck!
The actual Geocaches are all similar and can be identified by
the
Barn Red-colored AMMO Cans with a Mt Hood Territory Sticker
on one side and marked as an "OFFICIAL GEOCACHE" on the other
side.
Each Cache contains a Log Book and written on the inside
bottom
of the AMMO Can is a 'CODE WORD' that you record on your Contest
Registration Sheet. The Code Word is also printed on white paper
that has been laminated and placed in the bottom of the Geocache
Container. (The word "LILAC" is an example.) There are various
items in the Cache that are there for trade. You may leave Travel
Bugs, Geocoins and other tradeables in the Cache for the next
finders as this will remain a Regular Geocache after the Contest is
over. So, carry Trade Items with you. Please try to keep the
quality of the Trades as being at or above what you take. This will
certainly please the next finder!!
As we anticipate that there will be heavy traffic to find these
Geocaches, please practice the very best of Geocaching Ethics. Each
of the Caches is placed for relatively easy access and discovery.
Therefore it is very important that you be well aware of Muggles
and carefully replace the Geocaches after you have found and Logged
your find (Don't forget to record the Code Word!).
If you discover any problems with a Geocache, a quick e-mail to
ORNITH through my PROFILE on Geocaching.com will be very greatly
appreciated by the Geocachers that will come behind you.
On your way to the Cache ....Nurseries.
You'll get peeks at Mt Hood.
Honeysuckle.
This is an Alpaca.
So is this.
This is a .... Mop?
They come in all colors.
The Cache is close to this 'Starr'.
In most cases there are
TIME CONSTRAINTS
on the Caches. That means that there are times when they can be
accessed and times when they are OFF LIMITS. Please abide by these
times as in many cases they are placed by special permission of the
Caretakers of the location where they are located. Thank you.
!!There is also a $50 Coupon that goes to the person that posts
the Best Photograph to the Logs for a cache in this Series!!
Additional Comment: While you are out this way, why don’t you
consider doing a couple of the many other caches in the area:
GC19WNJ -- The Critter Cache. -- A Puzzle Cache that you may have
already “Solved”! And “Alpaca” is one of the Answers! Plus, it is a
great drive in one of our many beautiful local Parks (There is an
admission fee and there are other Caches in the Park.)
GC13Y73 -- Jonsrud Point. -- This is on one of the routes you can
use to get to “Alpaca” and is, also, one of last year’s Mt Hood
Territory Contest Geocaches but the view from the Point can be
spectacular!! The Waypoint cache has been moved so check out the
new coordinates.
