Park at the Oyster House parking lot. This is a good location to view of Dead Man's Spit. Then you can go find the hidden GEO Cache
NOTE; WE CAN’T PLACE IT ON DEAD MANS SPIT SINCE THIS IS SPIT IS A WILDLIFE REFUGE AREA. The Dungeness Massacre of 18 British Columbia Chimsean tribal members were attacked while asleep near the light house, all were massacred except one woman. This event was in retaliation to the Chimsean for stealing one of Lame Jack’s (a Clallam tribesman) wives and son. Stealing members from other tribes was a common practice and the stolen person may be sold or kept for slavery. When an offense occurred there could have been a payment made to counteract the wrong done to Lame Jack. As a payment did not occur, then the S’Klallam’s saw revenge as the means to right the wrong done to a member of their tribe. Revenge was another common practice of Coastal Indians. After a couple of years Lame Jack’s wife and child made it back after having escaped their captors.
