Spent the day caching with Darren in the Port Orford, Elk River, Cape Blanco area.

But first we decided to hunt a brand new group of caches on Highway 42S – even managed to be First To Find on several of them.

Nearing Port Orford, we turned up the Elk River for three caches. Found two of them including one that earned a favorite point from me – Fly & Tackle Box. This cache involved searching around monster boulders, in crevices, avoiding poison oak…..yeah, that’s caching!

Next, we went into Port Orford and grabbed lunch at a place I’ve been meaning to try for some time – The Crazy Norwegian – excellent fish-n-chips, btw!

Hunted a few caches near town then headed out to Cape Blanco State Park for a couple more. Walked the horse trails for a puzzle cache then headed for home.

Last cache of the day brought us to the Denmark Cemetery where we hung around awhile visiting dead people!

The call went out on facebook……

Emily: Going out in the dunes tomorrow. Anyone want to join?…….

Several answered the challenge and resulted in a group of seven trekking for miles in the North Spit dunes.

Yes, I had already hiked and found nearly every cache out there but I love hiking and these people are fun to hike and cache with.

CHIRP? What the heck is a CHIRP and how is it related to geocaching?……

Thanks to local geocacher emilierene, the south coast now has a cache requiring the use of this device – Chirp Chirp Spit Spit and here are Darren and I running out at night for a First-To-Find attempt…….or should we call it First-To-Chirp?
