Saturday 31 July 2010 - Squach's Breakfast and Island Hopping IV (GC29EXX)
Posted by: HuelatPackers Category: Other area Events
When: Saturday 31 July 2010
Location: N 44° 44.273 W 123° 03.242
Here we go again!
This is our fourth time around for this event that started out as a mission for us Squach’s to find a boat we could borrow so we could get those pesky caches off the islands in the Willamette. Boomchuck was kind enough to loan us his canoe but in the mean time we had so many say they wanted to come along that we made an event out of it. Now three years and two canoes later we have done the three major parts of the Willamette that goes through our area so I thought it may be time to try a new river.
This year we have decided on the Santiam, we will put in at the south bound I-5 rest stop and float our way to the Willamette ending at Buena Vista. In the past we have met at a McBreakfast joint first for the meet and greet but no such luck here. The guy in the trailer makes a pretty mean cup of joe for a donation but that is about it for fine dining at this location. We will bring some doughnuts and refreshments for the meet and greet portion before the hearty river folk head out to the adventure. Breakfast is at 8AM and we will put in around 9:30. To log this event you will only have to attend the meet and greet. If you are coming along for the really fun part then you will need to be sure you have a canoe or kayak (inflatable’s and motor boats don’t work well for this) a life vest for each person in your party, a whistle for each person, lunch and don’t forget to get your Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Permit. (new this year for Oregon). The fee is $7 and only 1 person per craft is required to have a permit and the permits are transferable.
Permits can be purchased by following this link (visit link)
For an added twist this time we may continue on after Buena Vista for some island camping if there is enough people interested. There is an un-named island known to the old Geocacher’s as Maryanne Island that should suit our camping needs just fine. If you would like to participate on the camp out please indicate this on your “will attend” log. You will need to provide you own meal and camping gear for this and you may want to plan on having someone drop you off and pick you up the next day as I wouldn’t recommend you leave you vehicle at the rest stop.
