  • Painted Hills – stunning photographic opportunity
  • Crater Lake – spectacular geographic phenomenon
  • Tillamook – ocean views, cheese factory and aviation museum

    • Other places I hope to visit are the Blue Mountains of the northeast corner, Steens Mountain, Rogue River Trail, Columbia Gorge and Portland’s newest natural area – Cooper Mountain. Leave a comment if there is a specific place you would like to read about and I’ll do my best to get there! No matter where you pick, I’m sure there is a geocache nearby and that’s motivation enough for me!

    I would love to visit several more sites but they will likely have to wait for another year. Looking forward to retirement in the next few years so I can get around to many more areas each year. Oregon has such diversity of climate, terrain and natural resources that I think I can stay busy for quite some time!

    Stay tuned……….

Hood near Estacada.  The original container is long gone but a commemorative plaque was placed in 2003.  Many geocachers make their way to this “Mecca of Geocaching” to pay homage and often to commemorate a personal geocaching milestone .  I made the trip, for example, to commemorate 1000 geocaches found.

    My wife and I hope this blog will entertain, inform and encourage you to get out and explore our spectacularly diverse state and have a little fun through the world-wide outdoor phenomenon of geocaching.

    For the most part, posts will showcase a specific place or region of Oregon and how searching for geocaches brought us there.

    In addition, there will be topics specific to geocaching such as GPS units, paperless geocaching, how-to tutorials and associated resources.

    Please understand that if you don’t see many posts about a specific region of interest to you – we’ll get there!  We still have full-time vocations but plan several outings each year in our little T@B RV.
