800!

Today marked our 800th GeoCache find. We have been caching nearly every weekend with my cousin Sara. Today we went to Carlton, a small town just outside of Newberg, and then up into the Oregon coast range to the McMinnville watershed. This was a beautiful day.... temperatures nearing 70 degrees... beautiful vistas. And we found a couple of caches that we had been unable to locate previously. Here is the view from one of those caches.



On the north side of the mountains, we had to drive through a foot of snow in some places. A snowball fight just isn't the same when it is so warm!



Here we are at the top of the coast range. On a clear day you can see 9 mountain peaks. Today we only saw Mt. Hood as a hazy shadow.



I just love the places geocaching takes us. This waterfall was along side of one of the dirt roads we travelled.




Baker Creek runs out of the McMinnville watershed. Here is one of the scenic views we saw while seeking a cache.



What a fantastic adventure!
