+HillQuest Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I'm headed to Mt Bachelor for a weekend of skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing with my family and a some friends. I'm looking for some caches to do in the city of Bend as well as near the Mt Bachelor ski resort. I would very much appreciate any recommended waypoints and/or cache names. Quote Link to comment
+Logscaler and Red Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Depending on where your staying - Sunriver or Bend, will make a difference of course but I would say to start with this one and spread out from there. Mt. Bachlor (winter) I just checked the Camera for Mt. B and it says there is 167 inches still so unless you wanna dig through 13 feet of snow, I would look for the caches closer to Bend instead. Caches to look for that should keep you entertained in Bend are: Control Point by sskamp (GCCDAC) - compare your numbers to the rest of the gang. Lunch with a lone juniper by GeoKnievel & Redhawk (GCNQDE) - Tricky hide but not hard to find. L.S.U.-Cheap Seats by legoboyjj (GCNW5H) - ANother tricky hide but still fun to do. Quad Dam It Run Around by Logscaler and Red (GC46E9) - Only if you wanna drive around and see parts of Bend. Cruise by the Creek 2 by bigeddy (GC63F7) - Just one of many very well placed caches in Shevlin Park. Pack a lunch for all day. Osage by GeoKnievel & Redhawk (GCN103) - A nice hike in the forest to the Lava Flows. I.H.S. # 4 - Boring Shoals by logscaler & Red (GCNKBZ) - Only if you want a challange. Lava Free Island by Team Stolasz (GC47D0) - One of the better hikes in the lava fields but be ready for some real rough going. Take leather boots, leather gloves and First Aid supplies. You could use L.S.U. - Cheap Seats as a center for caches in the Bend area. If your in town Saturday April 1st, 2006, your more then welcome to come to the event cache we are having.

+Half-Canadian Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 This cache in Bend is a lot of fun Quote Link to comment
+MtnGoat50 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 As someone who has cached in Bend, as a visitor. I would also recommend. Mt. Bachelor(Winter) I'm not a big fan of Virtuals, but this one is excellent! Well worth doing. Near to Bend I would recommend the caches in Shevlin Park. It's a great place to hike, with quite a few caches along the trails. I hope you enjoy your trip. Quote Link to comment
