My #1 daughter, Kimberly, and I toured Washington County finding about a dozen geocaches and benchmarks. Our first stop was The Old Scotch Church which was organized in 1873 by Scottish settlers from Aberdeenshire, west of Aberdeen, Scotland. This is one of the oldest continuously used churches in the state. We drove west on Hwy 26 to Hwy 6 and then southeast to Forest Grove. We stopped for a late lunch--the $5.00 special--at Subway.
We followed Hwy 47 to Hwy 210 where we traveled east (more or less). We ended our tour at Petrich General Store (AKA the North Shore). A general store has operated in the community since the 1890s, and was purchased by the Petrich family in 1964. The original Petrich General Store burned down in 1994 and was rebuilt by the community. We followed Hwy 210 back to Hwy 217 and then I-5 home to Vancouver. We enjoyed "ODD's are 1 in 44," "Banks Tour" (except for the cache location) and "The General Still Stands" geocaches.
