GEOCACHING ROUTE:
“Footsteps of 150 Years” is a series of caches placed near historically significant spots throughout several eastern Oregon counties. A stark contrast to the lush Willamette Valley and coastal areas of Oregon, these eastern counties afford a rugged beauty of sage covered rolling hills, high desert land, snow capped mountain peaks, and abrupt canyons. The cache series is placed along the approximate route of the historic Dalles Military Road. This will take you back in time on a journey through the remote back country of Oregon giving you a peek into the unique history of this area. More information available on www.geocaching.com
