"Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.  Geocaching.com is the headquarters for the activity"  On this site you can read the history of Geocaching.

* On May 2, 2000, at approximately midnight, eastern savings time, the great blue switch* controlling selective availability was pressed. Twenty-four satellites around the globe processed their new orders, and instantly the accuracy of GPS technology improved tenfold. Tens of thousands of GPS receivers around the world had an instant upgrade. Now, anyone could "precisely pinpoint their location or the location of items (such as game) left behind for later recovery." How right they were.

* On May 3 a GPS enthusiast, Dave Ulmer, computer consultant, wanted to test the accuracy by hiding a navigational target in the woods. He called the idea the "Great American GPS Stash Hunt" and posted it in an internet GPS users' group. The idea was simple: Hide a container out in the woods and note the coordinates with a GPS unit.  On May 3rd he placed his own container, a black bucket, in the woods near Beavercreek, Oregon, near Portland.

* Within three days, two different readers read about his stash on the Internet, used their own GPS receivers to find the container, and shared their experiences online.  Like many new and innovative ideas on the Internet, the concept spread quickly - but this one required leaving your computer to participate.

* Within the first month, Mike Teague, the first person to find Ulmer's stash, began gathering the online posts of coordinates around the world and documenting them on his personal home page. The "GPS Stash Hunt" mailing list was created to discuss the emerging activity.

* Geocaching.com was released to the stash-hunting community on September 2, 2000. At the time the site was launched there were 75 known caches in the world.  There are now over 1.5 million caches around the world, in only 12 years.'

This is certainly the condensed version.  Visit Geocaching.com history for the full story.  I checked to see if the Original Cache was still available, but alas, it has been archived and the Un-Original Stash placed in it's honor.  The links will take you to their listing on Geocaching.com but if you are not logged in I'm not sure if you will be able to view.  

Geocaching is Eco Friendly Travel at it's best .  Get to know Oregon like a local from the locals, the 100+ hosts of our member inns located in all of Oregon's regions.  Experience romantic getaways, historic treasures, and tucked away rustic retreats.  Whether your trip is for a quiet escape to a quaint rural or coastal town, for a World Class City experience, a geocaching adventure or for a new spin on business travel, you can be assured of combining gracious hospitality with ambiance by staying at an inspected and approved Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild member Inn

Giving History a Personal Perspective – Many towns claim a historic status, so it is fun to come across a place like Jacksonville Oregon where people are “living history”.  The town is fortunate to still have the look and feel from its heyday in the late 1800’s.  That is because during the first part of the 1900’s it fell into an economic coma that allowed for its preservation by neglect. All of the commercial buildings and homes remained untouched by “updates”, which had the unexpected benefit of retaining the town’s historical architecture.  In addition to being able to appreciate the charming setting you can also get a peek at the personal histories behind the town through a combination of presentations and tours being offered.

The second Saturdays of the month through November offer two special history programs, a cemetery tour in the morning and tours of the town’s wealthiest pioneer family in the afternoon.  Start the day with “History Saturday in the Jacksonville Cemetery”, a guided tour focusing on a specific topic or section of the cemetery provided by the Friends of Jacksonville’s Historic Cemetery.  Tours begin at 10:00 am and are about 1.5 hours long.  June’s tour focuses on the Independent Order of Odd Fellows section and the stories of the pioneers buried there.  Dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes, and meet the docents at the top of Cemetery Road.  The program is free however, donations are always appreciated to support the restoration and preservation work.  Additional tours are scheduled for July 14, August 11,

Next, make reservations for a special narrated “Closets and Cupboards” tour of The C.C. Beekman House, home to one of Southern Oregon’s most prominent pioneers.  Built and lived in by only the one family, the home remains completely furnished with family artifacts.  This special living history tour of the home and its newly restocked closets and cupboards will be offered at noon and 2:30 pm on June 9, July 14, and August 11.

“The year is 1932.  Julia Beekman has passed away. Daughter Carrie has moved to Portland where her brother Ben has been living for the past 43 years. Carrie and Ben are going through the closets and cupboards prior to closing up the Beekman House and reminiscing about “growing up Beekman”.  And you are invited to visit.”

Cost for the tours is $20 which includes the history talk and either a picnic lunch or a “strawberry tea.”  Tours require a minimum of 10 people, limited to a maximum of 15 and are by advance reservations only.  Additional dates and times are possible for group bookings.  Call 541-245-3650 or email info@jvilleheritage.org to make your individual reservations or to book your group.  Proceeds of the tours go toward the preservations and maintenance of the Beekman House, through the Jacksonville Hertiage Society.

There will also be themed historical tours focusing on different aspects of the Victorian era and the Beekman family on the 3^rd Saturdays of each month through November.  Topics include architecture, art, cooking and menus and travel.

You can cap your day off with a narrated trolley tour of the historic homes and commercial district.  The trolley runs hourly and gives you an overview of the town in addition to some special personal histories that you won’t hear anywhere else.  In addition to the history, Jacksonville is once again bustling with independently owned boutiques, bistros and restaurants and is proud to be the epicenter of the Southern Oregon Wine Region with over 70 wineries.  A great getaway that is still relatively unknown.  You can check out what all is going on in Jacksonville at www.JacksonvilleOregon.com.

'A Journey Through the Passes. Look both ways while crossing. These two connecting Cascade passes travel among 10,000-foot peaks, over jagged lava flows, along playful rivers, and through old-growth stands in two national forests. This incredible loop can easily be driven in a few hours. Unless, of course, you happen to have your camera, hiking boots, fishing pole or tent in the car.

Lava fields, snowcapped peaks and rushing rivers mark this 82-mile loop around two of central Oregon's Cascade Mountain passes.'  Consider making this a two, or three, day trip.  You can begin your trek on the West Cascades Scenic Byway, taking your time, enjoying the fall colors, lush forests, before shooting off onto the McKenzie Pass-Santiam Pass Scenic Byway Loop.  Begin your journey after a hearthy Northwest Breakfast at an Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild in the Portland area, travel south toward Central Oregon then finish up in Eugene or Cottage Grove.  Make your plans soon as sections of this Scenic Byway are closed during the winter months.

'A Scenic Alternative to the Freeway. Contrary to popular belief, cruise control on Interstate 5 is not the only way to travel between the Portland and Eugene areas. If you're in no hurry, this journey through the colorful western Cascades makes getting there all the fun. Especially because, in addition to the open road, there are miles of rivers and trails to explore.

'The 220 mile West Cascades Scenic Byway runs north to south, skirting the northern half of Oregon's Cascade Range and follows four great rivers through timeless forests, where you'll discover adventure and renewal along the way.'

Want to know why business travelers should choose an Oregon bed and breakfast over a hotel?  Lots of reasons!  Of course, every bed & breakfast is different and that's the beauty of staying at a B&B. Some are more accustomed to business travel, but all are gracious and accommodating.  Here are just a few reasons to consider:

1. Comfortable bed (and great pillows)
2. Home atmosphere (yes it's fine to take off your shoes & stretch out)
3. A place to spread out your work if you need to (dining room table in the evening with a glass of wine in your hand?)
4. Free Wi-Fi always (always, always free!)
5. Maps, local contacts, restaurant recommendations (we really do live here not just work here like the front desk clerk often does)
6. Cooked breakfast prepared for you when you want it (and coffee or tea too)
7. Peace & quiet (a big plus--sometimes with a TV in the room, sometimes not)
8. Especially for women traveling alone, someone who at least knows if you don't make it home at night (your mom away from mom)

Isn't it funny how many chain hotels are now offering breakfast, free Wi-Fi, etc.?  Wonder where they got the idea? 

Here's a recent comment in a room journal from a business traveler who spends about 75% to 80% of her time on the road calling on clients:

"After spending 4 out of 5 nights a week in "tract" hotels--what a wonderful break! The bed was spectacular (my back says THANK YOU!) and the robe so comfy.  Breakfast was such a treat.  I'll be back and be sure to let my fellow road warrior know about you.  Bravo!! See you soon - KB

Sure you can stay at the Salem Oregon hotels or the Portland Oregon hotels, for instance, but why choose a hotel when you can stay at a bed & breakfast?  Expand your radar and put us on the map.  You won't be sorry.  Oh, and if you need a little more convincing to think "bed and breakfast" when you travel on business, hope you enjoyed the video courtesy of the Better Way To Stay campaign.

See you at your next Oregon bed and breakfast!

There's a quirky little town on the Oregon side of the Columbia River, a half-hour drive north of Portland, that is trying to discover itself. St Helens Oregon has already been discovered by Hollywood, for one.  Recently numerous scenes from "Twilight" were filmed here and each October Olde Towne recreated in the manner of the popular 1998 Disney movie, "Halloweentown".

Dozens of fishing boats might be waiting in the harbor for the tide to turn and the salmon to run.  The local brewery, "Captured by Porches" is lodged behind the Plantation House and Captain Jack's karaoke bar in the heart of Olde Town, along with shops and restaurants and the Columbia Theatre.  Sailors and kayakers with rentals from Scappoose Bay Kayaking, enjoy the calm waters of the narrow channel and farther out, oceangoing freighters and container ships traveled the main Columbia channel.  The front steps of the 1905 Columbia County Courthouse — located immediately north of Columbia View Park — look out upon Plaza Square, which extends between Strand and First streets.
