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?
Kentucky Falls….Again! Rain….Again! Friend along….Again! Seems we can’t get enough of this place!
Patricia and I were accompanied on this outing by photographer and friend, Tracy Fawns. Check out her stuff HERE.
Fun day despite the rain…..Again!

Dragged my son-in-law Andrew out for a hike around Bluebill Lake. I needed to replace a leaky container for one of my geocaches along the trail. Brought along an additional geocache in case I found another place to hide a new one…..Indeed I did!
Okay, I didn’t really have to DRAG Andrew out….he enjoyed getting out….right, Andrew?
My wife and I were in Portland last October to assist with a daughters wedding plans. I knew I would have some free time for geocaching while the girls did their planning/shopping thing and decided to go out to Sauvie Island. Managed to talk my future son-in-law, Andrew, into coming along and seeing what this geocaching thing was all about.
I chose a series of four caches in the Wapato Access Greenway. They were on a loop trail skirting the marshy and wildlife-rich Virginia Lake.
After Sauvie Island we went to the far northwest end of Forest Park to look for one specific cache recommended by a local geocacher. It was off the main trail about 200 feet and hoisted thirty feet up into a tree! Very clever!
I am looking forward to exploring more of Sauvie Island in the future. The list of things to see is long, it may take several visits. That’s fine with me – its a beautiful place!
