+Team Gootz Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Okay, I know I can do the search, but not knowing the area very well, I thought I'd come to the experts! We're going to be in the Portland area Sept. 28-Oct 6 & want to do a few caches while we're there. The closest caches to my brother's house seem to be multis & puzzles. This is what I'm looking for... One fairly challenging cache that may or may not be friendly to strollers (I may be able to borrow a baby backpack), maybe in or near some nice mountains/hills. We don't mind a bit of a drive, but with a couple o' yungins' we can't walk long trails. Ratings of 1/2 or 3 would be good. I'm also looking for a couple 1/1 or 2 rated caches in the Eugene area. Part of our trip includes a wedding in Eugene. I'm hoping we'll have some free time the morning of the wedding to sneak in a cache! Thanks y'all!

+MattandLaura Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Welcome, what part of Portland will you be visiting? Quote Link to comment
+Team Gootz Posted August 15, 2002 Author Share Posted August 15, 2002 My family lives in Tigard, SW of the city. However, we're staying at Residence Inn Riverwalk. We've hiked Triple Falls, B.C. (before children) & that's probably slightly more strenuous than we'd like this time around. We are also avid wine enthusiasts, so anywhere in the Willamette valley would be great & we can combine our obsessions! Where in the nursery rhyme does it say Humpty Dumpty is an egg?

+Navdog Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 If you have never been to Portland and you have a week, your trip won't be complete without spending a day driving up the Columbia Gorge to Hood River. There are lots of caches on both sides of the river to hunt and enjoy the wonderful scenery. Try the links below for caches close to these towns: Cascade Locks Hood River I just did a cache and wine run the other week and there are a few caches near the wine country of the north Willamette Valley. Try this link. Here is a link to wineries in the North Willamete Valley. North Willamette Valley Wineries Did I mention the Oregon Coast? Enjoy your trip!

+oregone Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Then you may want to do this cache. It's nothing special, but it is right next to Erath Vineyards in the heart of wine country. But stay out of Nicholas Cage's yard. He's got a large dog that smells fear. all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed Quote Link to comment
+oregone Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 you should probably do this one, too. If you read all the logs and put 2 and 2 together, you can make it a three-in-one shot. all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed Quote Link to comment
+Team Gootz Posted August 16, 2002 Author Share Posted August 16, 2002 Thanks everyone for some great tips! We love trips along the river as well as along the wine tour. If time permits, maybe we can crash a Wed. night event too! We'll be dropping a couple of travel bugs (high commodity item around here!) I can't wait for our vacation now! Thanks again fellow cachers! MG Where in the nursery rhyme does it say Humpty Dumpty is an egg? Quote Link to comment
