Leakage from a Cluttered Mind

Dorris Lake

August 10, 2006, 8:10 pm

Today we did some hiking to Dorris Lake, had lunch there, and let the girls play for a while. On the way back into town we hunted down All points bulletin (3:21 PM).

All week we had been passing a nifty little playground the kids would enjoy and saving the two nearby caches so Cortnie could help us find them. Tonight after dinner, we drove over and the kids had a ball playing on the structures and stuff. Finally I handed Cortnie the GPS and told her to follow the arrow. She navigated easily enough to the location, but the cache was a bit high for her. We found Playground at 6:45 PM. Next door was a senior citizen center with a cache hidden in some nearby trees. Again Cortnie took us there, and with a little coaching she zeroed in on the cache, so we bagged Senior Moment at 7:00 PM.

Karen rode back to the house with Mark and Annmarie while Dan, Janet, and I used the rest of the daylight to find some more. We found the following.

B.S.P.S. #8 – Kiwanis II (7:35 PM)

Momma’s Packrat I (7:41 PM)

Aspen Cove (7:56 PM)

Bend, while the rest go to Sisters

Some of the family wanted to go to Sisters today, and then go swimming, so Dan, Janet, and I split off and hunted caches in Bend.

Big Eddy’s Nightmare–Momma Micro Is Pregnant (9:44 AM). I thought this one was on Highway 20 and guessed it was inside a building from the description, but it wasn’t. It was big and easy to find and was the closest cache to the house.

B.S.P.S. #1 Providence (9:57 AM). This one is just a couple of blocks from Nostrada, but we never did make a connection with him. Perhaps it was just an inconvenient time in his schedule.

B.S.P.S. #2 Mountain View (10:23 AM). We didn’t get the math to quite work out on this one, but since we had a bearing that made sense, we just checked in the most obvious spots and found the cache.

Dance (10:37 AM) is a virtual that took us inside the hospital to a beautiful wood sculpture.

Dusty Trails & Dusty Trails2 (11:10 AM). We had to hunt for the first stage because the coords were about 30 ft off. Second stage was easy.

Beginning Larkspur Trail (11:45 AM) was quick. Dan found it with a dripping wet log.

Wagons Ho! Elliott trail of 1853 (11:51 AM)

Don’t Want No Stinkin’ Puddin’ (12:08 PM)

Development (12:21 PM)

Along the trail (12:31 PM)

Urban Arbor (1:19 PM). I remember looking for this one last year with no luck. Finally found it this time in an area that I’m sure I must have looked before.

Lunch with a lone juniper (1:59 PM). We started looking around the old Mill district and found this one.

Shelter from the storm (2:14 PM). Dan scrambled up to retrieve this one.

Farewell Bend (2:21 PM). Under the bridge and blends in well.

Smith Rock

August 8, 2006, 8:06 pm

Today we hiked at Smith Rock. The trail we chose was steep and challenging, especially for Cortnie, but she did great. We had some beautiful photography stops and found one cache at the foot of Monkey Face, a 400 foot high spire of rock. We found The AAC Rescue Cache Cache at 3:30 PM.
