+Gloom Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Hi all, I'm going to introduce my parents to geocaching this weekend and I'm looking for a good cache to break them in on. I'm thinking something in a park setting with a bit of hiking involved, possibly a multi-cache. Something like 'wild arboretum' would be good. Any suggetions? ---- Duct tape is like the Force.

+oregone Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 This one seems about what you're looking for. You can even start from cornell if you want to up the terrain difficulty. It's a great section of trail pretty indicative of our parks. all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed Quote Link to comment
+Gloom Posted October 16, 2002 Author Share Posted October 16, 2002 It doesn't NEED to be a multi-cache, I was just thinking that a multi would give us a chance to stretch our legs more. A traditional cache with about a mile or so of walking would be good too. Specifically what I'm looking for is: 1)A bit of good healthy walking 2)A nice setting 3)Not too crowded (I don't mind crowds, just makes it harder to be discrete) 4)Not too far from the beaverton area. I wouldn't be opposed to something in forest park, tigard, tualatin, west slope, hillsboro, or anything around there. Thanks again! ---- Duct tape is like the Force.

+oregone Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 There is always makaio's famous 'silicon forest,' but i don't know if you wanna hang out with them for four hours. Is this one too far away for ya? all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed Quote Link to comment
+Team JOYSON Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Most of the Tigard area multi's are fun... Tigard vs. Dolan, Does a Bear Sit in the Woods, and Metzger park all take a fair amount of wandering without too much difficulty. I'm pretty sure you've already found most of these, so you should be familiar with what I'm talking about. 4 parks, or 3 more parks is more driving than walking, but gets you around to see some sights. If you like driving yourself nuts looking for micro's, Curiously strong took us the better part of a lunch hour. Is that enough of my opinion for you? You've found enough around here to know which ones you liked, or left a memroable impression. I hope they enjoy it as much as we have.

+Zzzoey & illDRIVEuNav Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 We haven't done many caches around Portland, but the ones we did do, we enjoyed. Rings and Hot Air Balloons - RFE #1B both worth the time to find Quote Link to comment
Altered State Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Defnitely meets the criteria. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=1670 Quote Link to comment
