The cache is not at the posted coordinates. The posted coordinates will take you to a good spot to leave the trail. Take 4 steps off the north side of the trail, then about 20 steps up the hill to a magnificent oak.
The name of this cache, Pish, is a Chinook jargon word for fish, generically, it it also happens to be the word for fire, showing the important role of fish as food. Since I live in Scappoose (the Chinook word for gravelly plain), I thought it would be fun to name my caches in Chinook jargon. This is my 16th hide, celebrating my 160th find. This cache is located on the north side of the trail which means that it might be a lot less fun to find in the winter when that side of the trail is very wet.
The Crown Zellerbach trail was once a logging road and before that, a logging railroad. Today it is a linear county park. It is a rails-to-trails project that is progressing very slowly in my opinion, but it is a very welcome project.
This is my 6th letterbox cache. I only just became interested in letter boxing earlier this year (2012), and there are so few in this area that I decided right away that I wanted to start hiding a few. Remember: letterboxes include stamps, which are not trade items. I placed the stamp in a labeled bag. I placed the SWAG in another labeled bag, so you shouldn't get them mixed up
