On this day, May 6, 2000 the first geocaching cache was found hidden outside Portland, Oregon, by Mike Teague.
Also on this day, May 6, 2004, facing allegaions of rape of a teenage babysitter back in 1973, former Oregon Governor Neil Goldschmidt resigned from the Oregon State Board of Higher Education and other public positions. Soon, he released a confession that he "had an affair with a high school student." The scandal not only implicated the former governor, but raised questions about why the media never reported on it for decades.
Violence? Careless hunters?

They heard a loud noise and the rear window of their Dodge Van broke. They did not stop due to the remote location and personal safety reasons. When they arrived home, they noticed what they believed to be a bullet hole in the rear panel just below the window. The vehicle body shop also thought it was a bullet hole.
