Geocache Description:

Little known parking for Mo's and Taft Waterfront.



Sissie and Jakie Johnson Jr. were the first residents of Taft. They had been given a 160- acre allotment on Siletz Bay as compensation when reservation lands were taken away. With its location on Siletz Bay providing access to the coast and ocean, and the Siletz River providing transportation to people living along the river, Taft became the center of north Lincoln County's social and economic life. Homesteaders came into town for festivities on most holidays, but the Fourth of July drew the biggest crowds.

John W. Bones erected the first store in Taft, establishing a post office in the store on January 22, 1906 with Mr. Bones as the first postmaster. When naming the town Mr. Bones requested first the name of Siletz Bay but this was rejected since there was already a town of Siletz in the area. He named the town for William Howard Taft who was then Secretary of War and later became president.

The cache is small, log only, but large enough to hurt you if it dropped on you.

Parking in the off-season is easy and very close, During the Summer and on busy weekends, you may have to walk a few blocks.
