Another photo excursion….this time to Camp Creek Falls, east of Reedsport near Loon Lake.
Arriving at the falls, we saw a large family gathering around a roaring campfire and vehicles loaded with Christmas trees! Turns out it was the family of a fellow co-worker of Patricia’s! Small world!
While she was photographing the falls, I checked on a geocache I previously found there - still snug in it’s hiding place! As we left, I stopped to find a newly placed cache nearby then headed home.
Caching with others is always fun. That’s why rather than hike to Arago Peak all by myself to finally hunt down the cache placed to celebrate my retirement, I put out the invite to the local caching community. Of course there was the breakfast suggestion as enticement! After getting our fill at Yeong’s, the group gathered at the trail head….
Eight of us trekked the Cape Arago Pack Trail clear to the Peak, some cachers needing every ENT, some nary a one…...
After the hike, Steve-n-Nancy visited with us and we all decided to end the day with what else?.....another meal! Had dinner in Charleston.
Yep, even when winter comes and the sand is wet this trail is pretty soft and lumpy, I agree. Tortured? no….irritated? yes. Just out for these two newest caches plus recording part of the Wild Mare Trail for the NW Trails project. Cache is in fine condition.
Getting out for a short hike this afternoon. Got this one and Tortured Feet. Also walked and recorded the east end of the Wild Mare Trail to the trail fork then down both forks a short distance - will record the remainder another time and submit them to the NWTrails project. Cache in fine shape. 1.6 mile total hike today. Bummer you didn’t get swamp creatures but glad you put out a couple more for the rest of us!
