On Saturday, May 16th, my #2 son, Christopher, and I spent the day geocaching and benchmarking. We found several NGS benchmarks and several traditional caches in the morning. We saw the Southern Pacific Steam Engine 1785 on display in Woodland, Oregon near a benchmark. When we were on an overpass looking for benchmarks a policeman pulled up behind my parked car and walked up to question me as someone reported that we were stealing guard rails (luckily he had heard about geocaching!). By far the most interesting part of the day was spent exploring the area around the former Chemawa Indian School and the Chemawa Cemetery. In the afternoon we did a Virtual in Keizer, Oregon before heading back.
