I'll be taking my family on a road trip in July heading to Mount Rushmore from Seattle. I've got plenty of caches to search for while I'm in the area. Can you tell me which ones are "can't miss"? My kids are 7 and 9 so I won't be able to take on 3+ terrain caches. Thanks for any recommendations you can offer! Eternal Design

I'll be spending a couple of days in Portland and am wondering if the locals could give me a list of "caches not to miss" while I'm in town. I'm most interested in some fun urban caches downtown. I probably don't want to spend a ton of time on 4 and 5 star toughies, though. But, which ones are the local favorites? Thanks for the help! -Eternaldesign, Bothell, WA

I just began geocaching a little over a month ago and am hooked. My kids (5 and 6) love going with me. My 6 year old son's birthday is at the end of May and I'm thinking about creating a Geocaching Birthday Party for him and his friends. I'm considering creating a new cache(s) for the event. Any ideas to make it fun and age-appropriate?
