Geocache Description:


Not much activity occurs at Chitwood anymore. The bridge was once surrounded by several stores, a post office, a telephone office, and several houses.

In the early 1900s Chitwood became an important rail stop for the steam locomotives from Yaquina to Corvallis, as the town was where the engines took on water and fuel, as well as passengers and freight.

The rails near the bridge are still used, but the train no longer stops at Chitwood.

The cache is in an easy to guess location. It's small enough to remain hidden, yet large enough for small trading items.
Please re-hide it as well as or better then you found it.
