Unique Retrieval System

People really like to hide caches in cemetaries, and this was our second one of the day! This is probably the most unusual cache we've done as far as how we had to retrieve the cache. There was a long pole with a hook on the end of a string and we had to fish for it. I was too short to see what I was doing, but thankfully hubby was able to get it. This was another Premium Member cache, but I was glad my nonPremium family were with me, otherwise I'd still be trying to hook it!

Best View Yet!

This is another Premium Member cache, and though it was a little bit of a walk, the view was spectacular! We could see all the way to downtown as well as Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens, and miles and miles of the Columbia River.

New County Park

There was nothing in this new park but a parking lot, picnic table and, of course, the geocache! It was an easy find, and the camo was cute too. This is a Premium Members cache, but we didn't know it when we were looking for it. Geocaching.com really should put something on the cache page so it's easier to tell!

Wow!

This was the first Premium Members cache that we've attempted to find, and it is a great cache! This was a difficult puzzle to solve, but after that the cache was extraordinarily easy to find...there's no hiding this one!


Inside we found the biggest travel bug I've ever seen, along with some of the coolest loot ever placed in a cache. We knew this was going to be big, so we brought along a large swag item (an obnoxiously noisy front loader) which we traded for a pretty Winnie the Pooh ball.
