Two trips to Eugene recently resulted in 30+ cache finds but………..

Not much to write about. No pictures to show. No one to gab with.

Just not the same as my recent excursions with other cachers!

That’s all I need to say…………….

Okay, maybe one thing is worth writing about – finding a troubled multi near Curtin – Mile 166:

It had a lot of Did Not Find reports and few people have even looked for it. I decided to stop and give it another try and was able to complete it – but it took awhile. You come away with a good feeling when you find one like this that gives so many fits!

Another trip to Silverton – this time we decided to go find nearby Abiqua Falls. It was a rough road to the trail head and an even rougher trail to the falls but we made it and Pat got some great pictures…….

I really enjoy the chance to find geocaches placed during the early days. Today I was caching near Mollala, OR (while Patricia hosted a photographer’s outing nearby at Wooden Shoes Tulip Farm) in order to pick up one more of the older caches needed to complete the Oregon History Challenge cache. Hunting and finding GC16 was a great example of the kind of caching I like most – hiking in Oregon’s forests. Had a great day exploring the Mollala River Recreation Corridor.

Cache found!

Love these old ones!

With the finding of this cache in Silverton, OR, I completed the requirements for a challenge cache involving finding a cache on every day of the calendar. Not in one single year, mind you, although that would count as well. Yes, a cache find was required for Feb. 29 – fortunately, I had that day covered already when I discovered this challenge and evaluated my list of found caches. Some folks won’t be able to claim this cache until 2012. Bummer guys!

Glad that’s over! Now I can relax and not worry about missing a day and having to wait another year to complete the task!
