Located on the old Allegany to Scottsburg Pack Trail in Golden and Silver Falls State Park
TEXT OF THE MARKER NEAR THIS LOCATION:
From the 1880's, early homesteaders in the Glenn Creek valley above Golden Falls used a steep and dangerous pack trail that bypassed this rocky escarpment.
In 1901, four of the homesteaders blasted this trail out of the rock bluff above Golden Falls, and donated the right of way to Coos County.
From 1912 to 1916, an auto stage line ran daily through this route, transporting passenges between Allegany and Scottsburg.
During World War II, lumber was transported over this road from a sawmill located about two mile above Golden Falls.
The road was maintained by the county until 1958 when the last of the descendants of the original homesteaders moved out.

NOTE: This cache has been replaced with a new container and the coordinates updated with averaged readings for a more accurate fix. The hint will help.
You are looking for a medium Lock-and-Lock container tucked away on the trail. The reception for GPS signals is difficult in this narrow canyon, so just head up the trail and ask yourself, "If I were to hide a cache here, where would I put it?" This can be reached without leaving the trail. No camo, so please keep it covered as this a well traveled trail.
There are several other caches in the park, but I've been able to find only one because of the difficult reception here.
