Ascension Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 I'll be in Oregon this June on vacation and I am wondering if anyone would suggest a cache or two in Oregon. I'll be near Eugene, *but* I am willing to travel 100 miles + from Eugene for the right cache. What would that be?? Good question. Something with a LONG hike. Preferably something 10 miles back or so with an overnight stay needed. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Donad_D Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 What about tree climbing? Sorry. Donad_D Lurkers of the World, Unite! Quote Link to comment
Donad_D Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 Hopefully, your GPS is working fine? Donad_D Lurkers of the World, Unite! Quote Link to comment
+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 There are a lot of caches in Oregon. I live in the Rogue Valley and we get new ones every week. I haven't cached around Eugene but I'm sure you could spend days trying to get all of the local ones there. Have fun. Never Squat With Yer Spurs On Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 I am nopt endorsing any of these (I've never attempted any of them), but they look challenging and haven't been found frequently. Maybe a good place to start if you don't get a solid recommendation here. You might want to open one of these and start looking at "nearby caches" until something looks good! Have fun!

+pdxmarathonman Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 When I started poking around, this is the one I remembered seeing that best fit your request(the cache placers stayed overnight). Not found yet. Looks like it'd require some prep work getting some topo maps, etc. Pechuck Cache Quote Link to comment

Ha ha, very funny, it is to laugh. The GPS is fine. I'd rather walk 5 miles than climb one single tree or fence. If I was really shameless I'd tell you about the time I scrambled to the top of a fence and did the wobble wobble thing and then fell off -- tall fence. Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Tree Hugger You'll definitely not want to do the above cache But check out some of his other caches. The Contact Cache is legendary (but requires most of the work before you venture out for the hunt) These are in the Portland area. Quote Link to comment

+oregone Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 This cache is still my favorite in Eugene. all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed Quote Link to comment

+Lightning Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 This one’s not all that far from Eugene and you don’t have to hike to find the cache but there is a 1.6-mile hike through a BLM old growth preserve. This one’s back in the brush about 30 miles and takes about a 3 hour drive round trip on logging roads. We saw a herd of elk on the way in and a big ol’ bobcat on the way out. It takes a bit of navigating to get there also. Check it out at: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=15278 Quote Link to comment
Ascension Posted April 8, 2002 Author Share Posted April 8, 2002 Thank you one and all for the reply's. So many caches and so little time... I have some good one picked from the suggestions. Quote Link to comment
+missnomer Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 If you have the time to make the drive over the hill, there is a 'mecca' in Klamath Falls area of caches! Some are pretty easy, others are a bit tough but there are literally over 100 caches in a 20 mile radius. We welcome everyone to this area, the more the better! If you plan ahead, you might even be able to find a 'guide' to give you a cache-tour! -missnomer Quote Link to comment
White Rabbit Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 We found this one to be interesting while we were attending a concert in Eugene: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=10642 Quote Link to comment
