I Hate I-5 Old Covered Bridge

By: nrobin Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Chose to do the virtual since I had a long way to go south on I-5. Answer for the virtual in the email. Thanks for the cache, have been visiting covered bridges and lighthouses lately so this was right in line with that.

Pier Pressure

By: Ace and Fly Baby Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

I found it but only 1/2 of the container (well the magnetic part at least). No logbook to be found. I didn't have the replacement materials with me so this cache need maintenance. Unsure of where it was supposed to be hidden, I found it out in the open and put it right back where I found it. Thanks anyway, its a nice spot to visit.

Hard Water

By: Ace and Fly Baby Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

Unfortunately I got a speeding ticket heading over to this cache. Boy is that going to cost me! Well I was driving Ms. Maverix' car with the V8 and look what happens. Oh well, had a good time finding the cache anyway.

First effort

By: gmachip Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

We were driving from Depoe Bay to Cascade Locks, and took the back way to this cache. What a maze of roads, I had to use the GPS to find the street route to the cache.
