It is placed in the Mongomery Redwood Grove.

There is a #5 post next to the road just East after the cache site.
This is a Cache placed on Geocachings Birthday! May 3, 2007. It marks the 7 year anniversary of this great game we play!~It was Originally placed in Oregon by Dave Ulmer who Dubbed it GPS Stash #1...It was later renamed "geocaching"
On May 3, 2000, a five-gallon bucket was placed at N.45.17.460 W.122.24.800 by Dave Ulmer, containing Delorme Topo USA and 2 CD Roms, a cassette recorder, a "George of the Jungle" VHS tape, a Ross Perot book, 4 $1 bills, a slingshot handle, and a very famous can of beans (now the O.C.B. T.B.!) The coordinates were then listed on the Internet and modern-day Geocaching was born.
The first finder of that first cache was Mike Teague, who took the money and left some cigarettes, a cassette tape and a pen.
Although that original bucket was severely damaged by an Oregon Road Crew mower and is no longer around a plaque was placed at this location and can still be seen...There is also an ammocan that is nearby to drop off swag and bugs in.
You can view the Original stash in the making and the Original Stash Plaque being placed at Youtube.com...Just search for "first Geocache"
I tried to include as much of the Original swag as I could when I placed it. Some I had to do without. But once the cache is found a few times I will add some new swag to it!
Cache is not visible.
****HINT IS A TOTAL SPOILER!!!!**** 3 star rating is rated without hint, mostly because of tree cover.
