*******************
I have reports that all the boxes are missing now, not just 3 and 4. You may want to forgo this series until I can replace these boxes. (July 2006)
*********************
Southwest Washington is full of rich history. From the time before Fort Vancouver was built, thru World War II and beyond, the west held promise of a better life. My folks were among the many who came with little to their name but a willingness to work.
Get ready to learn some history and be subjected to some silly jokes. As a Scandinavian I can attest that if you tell a joke at a Scandinavian’s expense they’ll not only laugh with you, but tell you another story that tops it! We hope you’ll laugh with us. Yaaa, yoo betcha!
Directions
Take State Highway 14 East and take exit 8 turn left onto 164th Avenue. Turn right on SE 1st Street, Left on Friberg, Turn right at the Tee. Go down the hill and turn right into the Heritage Trail Parking lot.
Clues
Box #1 - Norwegian
Head down the trail. Before a quarter, hang a left. Before snag in trail, look under the fallen one.
Norse Yoke: The Norwegian government recently purchased 1,000 used septic tanks (ishda!); and as soon as they learn how to drive them, they plan to invade Sweden!
Box #2 - Finnish
Find 3rd Tee past ¼ mile mark. Where road and trail separate take the road. At the meadow, you’ll find this Laplander inside a pointy stump on the right. After stamping in return to the trail.
Historic statement: Many of the old country Finns came to SW Washington after first landing in Astoria. The readily available salmon and the fish canneries in Astoria drew them. These old Finnlanders would come home with a barrel of fish that would last them the winter. Ma and the kids were at home taking care of the cows, always trying to accumulate a larger herd. This is how they made their living.
Box #3 - Swedish
Keep going down the trail until you get to the first bridge. Go down the small path that goes under the east side of the bridge. Uffda, watch your head! The Swede is nestled among some rocks on the NE leg of the I-Beam. Please try to rehide the box so it’s not obvious.
“Uffda” and “Ishda” were uttered quite often in our house. Examples are the best explanation here:
Uffda is . . . . sneezing so hard that your false teeth end up in the bread plate.
Uffda is . . . . carrying a barrel of fish from Astoria to Camas!
Ishda is . . . . getting swished in the face with a cow’s wet tail.
Ishda is . . . . losing your chewing gum in the chicken yard!
Box #4 - Kwakwaka'wakw
From the bridge, head back toward the parking lot and look for a trail on the right. Go up and over, crossing the trail. This Kwakiutl is behind and under the log ahead of you.
Since its creation in 1977, the Lelooska Foundation has sponsored a variety of educational programs aimed at preserving the rich cultural heritage of the Native People's of North America. Students, parents, teachers and the general public have been able to learn through living history programs, workshops, classes and museum tours offered throughout the year.
The Lelooska Family shares songs, dances, stories and masks which display the rights, crests and privileges bestowed on them by the late Chief James Aul Sewide. The living history programs were developed by Chief Lelooska to share the history and culture of the Kwakwaka'wakw (Kwakiutl) people. The Lelooska Foundation has sponsored these programs since 1977. Chief Tsungani carries on the traditions of his brother, the late Chief Lelooska, performing with other family members in Ariel, Washington, 40 miles northeast of Portland, Oregon. For more information: http://www.lelooska.org/
This stamp is a representation of chief Lelooska’s work. As of this date the original is temporarily on display at the Camas Library at 625 NE Fourth Avenue. From 1965 until recently it was at the Camas paper mill.

That’s it! The only thing left is to ponder the age old question: Does the chewing gum lose it’s flavor on the bed post overnight?
