This is a replacement cache for the original Bandon Fire #4 cache which was stolen. We decided to place a new cache as the orginal hiding spot was no longer a good place. We felt a new cache would give cachers who found the original a reason to revisit. We also felt the "View was too good to lose."
It is a medium size container which will hold small trade items and travel bugs.
From this area you can get a good view of the town and nearby lighthouse. This is across the river from the town and is an area where several people escaped to.
When the fire started to burn the town several people made their way to the Moore Mill docks where a steamer and a lighthouse tender moored. A powered lifeboat from the lighthouse tender and a twenty passenger lifeboat from the steamer, rowed by six sailors, as well as other available boats were used to ferry people to safety on the north side of the river where the lighthouse stands.
Check out the area and you can still see the remains of the lighthouse keepers house and other out buildings. During the summer months the lighthouse is opened and maintained by volunteers. At times tours are also available to go into the tower of the lighthouse.
We hope you enjoy the area as much as we do
