Geocache Description:


A cache on the great trail system of Coxcomb Hill. 

 

There are many ways to hike to the cache site, including from the Astoria Column, from Clatsop Community College, or from Irving Avenue on any of several trailheads.  A good choice from Irving:

 

N 46 11.130  W 123 49.091  (Saved as a Waypoint).

 

Further east on Irving, the Cathedral Tree Trailhead will connect also.

 

The cache is at a dramatic forest crossroads of four trails (one of which quickly rejoins another).  Use the hint to make the find easier!

 

Crossroads have many mythological associations and a deep connection to the distant past.  Read more here.  The site of this cache certainly features a mythical atmosphere!

 

Not far to the SW(?) you will find the remains of an ancient wood bridge.

 

Enjoy hiking on Coxcomb Hill and your visit to "neither here nor there".
