Mt. Hood Territory Challenge, July 13 - 15, 2009


Christopher and I divided the Mt. Hood Territory Challenge into three parts. On Monday, July 13 we found a few benchmarks and one letterbox in addition to several caches including Mt. Hood Territory Challenge Geocaches.

Although we only found five geocaches we found ten benchmarks on Tuesday, July 14. Three of the benchmarks were located on a concrete bridge over the Salmon River. We also visited several Waymarks - "Laurel Hill," "Summit Meadow Pioneer Cemetery Barlow Road," "Summit Prairie, Barlow Trail, Oregon," "Pioneer Woman's Grave, Barlow Road, Oregon," "Sam Barlow Wagon Trail, Oregon," "First - Road Built Over Cascade Range, Oregon," and "Barlow Road Tollgate, Mount Hood, Oregon."

On Wednesday, July 15 Christopher and I did the eight Short Rail Series in Lake Oswego, three caches, and five Mt. Hood Territory Challenges. Afterwards we took Hwy 35 north to Hood River and then I-84 west. Christopher had never been on northbound Hwy 35. We stopped to view the sunset at Panorama Point near Hood River. Christopher and I covered about 450 miles in three days!!

We picked up our Mt. Hood Territory Challenge Geocoins in Wilsonville. Afterwards we did ten benchmarks/geocaches in the Wilsonville area.
