Christopher (Dancing Penguin) and I drove to Vernonia and Astoria on Wednesday, April 21, geocaching and benchmarking along the way. We had a free guided tour ride on the waterfront trolley in Astoria. We stayed overnight in a motel suite overlooking the Astoria bridge and the Columbia River.
After breakfast we did some benchmarking in Astoria and then traveled to Ecola/Indian Beach to complete the 4th and last of the "twilight" series. We hiked up the hill where we hunted for two hours for the cache but were unable to find it. I slithered under a log and Christopher climbed over it. We searched both sides for about 100 ft. Found some likely places but no cache. There was a lot of blowdown from winter storms. We did find a brown beer bottle and Christopher found a frog. Deeply disappointed.
We traveled back to Portland/Vancouver on Hwy 26 stopping for late lunch at a Dairy Queen. Christopher had a Geocaching meeting at a restaurant at Clackamas Town Center so I took him. Afterwards we went back to my house to watch "Survivor."
