+SamSpade47 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hypothetically speaking... Let's say some fool from Washington wants to drive all the way down to the Oregon Hell Hole (Cool Place, GCGG27), a little to the East of Eugene, and he wants to hit some other interesting caches along the way, any suggestions? Thanks Quote Link to comment
+hydnsek Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) There are some GREAT covered bridges with caches en route to the Hell Hole. My favorites are Office Bridge and Got It Covered. But if you look around, you'll find several others along the way, including Unity Bridge, and the cute series that ends with The Wedding. Edited July 16, 2009 by hydnsek Quote Link to comment
+The Jester Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 We didn't know this had a cache until we got home, but if you like old planes: B-17 BOMBER (FLYING FORTRESS), MILWAUKIE Quote Link to comment

+CACHE KRAWLER Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 What kind of time frame will you be looking at? Quote Link to comment
+TheBeanTeam Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 What kind of time frame will you be looking at? Yeah if the time frame was right I might try to join you for the trip unless you were wishing for complete solitude on your way to the Hell Hole. The I Hate I-5 Covered bridge cache above is a few hours south of Eugene and not one for this trip. The local forum for the Eugene area might be of help too.

Emerald Valley Cachers Sorry, I didn't see theses posts until this morning. The idea of carpooling isn't a bad idea, but it wouldn't have worked out in this situation. I drove down to Portland Friday night and stayed with my sister. It wouldn't have been cool to show up with a complete stranger along for the ride. Saturday morning I drove down to the Hell Hole. It was a pretty "Cool Place"! What an amazing formation! I sure wouldn't want to be standing on the South edge during the "Big One". The covered bridges were cool as well. Thanks. But the highlight was a cache that I happened upon called "Secret Falls" (GC12R1K). Despite DNF'ing, it was an awesome spot. The Middle Fork of the Williamette River (Wild and Scenic Status) was beautiful. Lots of driving... ~200 miles Friday night, ~500 miles Saturday (I had to get back Saturday night to pick up my wife at the airport). If you go, don't do it like I did, take a couple of day and camp on the river... Was it a "Cool Place"?, Yeah, it was Cool. Edited July 19, 2009 by SamSpade47 Quote Link to comment
