Native American Tribes series.

Chimakum

A Chimakuan tribe that is now extinct. They formerly occupied the peninsula between Hood's Canal and Port Townsend, Washington. The tribe resembled the Challam in customs, but were constantly at war with them and other Salish neighbors, and by reason of their inferiority in numbers suffered extremely at their hands. By 1855, they were reduced to just 90 people. They were included in the Point no Point treaty of 1855 and placed upon the Skokomish reservation. Their population continued to diminish and by 1890, one report indicated there were only three individuals who spoke the language. However, the language continued to exist until the 1940s.

Cache is in good shape. Wonder why they kept fighting with the other tribes? Thanks for the hide!

Geocaching on the plains east of Denver.
A relaxing way to spend the Saturday.
Found most caches in good shape.
Thanks to all who made this possible.

I decided to do some eastern plains caching today and managed to find 44 while the temperature was in the 90s. I made the find here at 12:48 pm. Thanks for the cache!

Almost lost to time. Dug it out of the mud and signed the log. On March 20, 2018, I headed out to the eastern plains to grab as many caches as possible. Sorry it took so long to log them. I have a goal of reaching 3,000 caches by my first geocaching anniversary on April 2. My journey started at 7:30 a.m., and ended with a string of FTF’s near Agate, Colorado. I saw a variety of wildlife during my journey; several hawks, prairie dogs, I think a bald eagle, cranes, ducks, geese, and even a bear! The bear was at the Wildlife Sanctuary. Sadly, I also saw the changing times; many abandoned farmhouses and oil pipeline installation everywhere. Thank you to all the cachers who placed these containers and have the fortitude to maintain them. This one was in great shape. TFTC!
