A Day of Caching

So today, Dan, Kathleen, Roxy and I started off fairly early. We headed straight to Washington. Kathleen is doing a cache challenge done by Delorame. They divide up a state into grids and you have to do a cache in each grid. Kathleen is working on Washington and we thought that she probably wouldn’t get a better opportunity to get three grids on the lower coast. One of the caches on the way was really cool, it was a small bird house attached to tree. As we were trying to figure out a way into it, Dan discovered a tape measure that you pulled out and that was the log.

 

We found Kathleen's caches and did a web cam beside a cute little pond on main street. With a web cam you have to sign into the webcam and using an Iphone we took a picture of ourselves  in front of the camera and then they post it online to claim the cache.

On our way out of town we stopped for lunch at the Surfer Sand sandwich shop in Long Beach. The sandwiches there were awesome, homemade buns baked daily and lots of meat and cheese, grilled, they were delicious.

After lunch we drove back to Astoria to try a web cam at the River museum but we couldn’t get it to work, so then it was the long drive down to Tillamook.

 

Kathleen and Dan had never been to the Cheese Factory before so it was a must. We also stopped at the smoked meat place and picked up more jerky. After the factory we cached our way up the coast, stopping at the Twin Rocks so Kathleen could dip her feet into the ocean and ending at Cannon beach to see the sunset at Haystack Rock.

 

We finally made it back to Seaside and the Condo where Lenny had a great supper of Steak, Scallops, Ceaser Salad and Asparagus. He’s such a good husband.
