Visit the Coho boat just outside the doors of the Coos History Museum to find this "cache of the day." The Coho may appear to be split in half, but after discovering the "cache of the day" you'll have just what you need to see the other half inside the museum.
While you're on site also check out information about the ship that would not die (see waypoint 1 connected to this cache). On February 4, 1999, The New Carissa was part of Oregon's worst disaster. Despite the U.S. Navy's best efforts... IT WOULD NOT DIE! The impact caused its fins to bend. The U.S. Navy was called to assist with the mess created but despite their best efforts, the New Carissa split in half and caused even more problems. In March 1999, the Navy towed the New Carissa out to sea in attempts to finally be rid of it but... learn the full story at the waypoint.
The Coos History Museum creates a better understanding of life in Coos County and Oregon's South Coast, past and present, and our place in that life. Dedicated staff do this by collecting and preserving stories, artifacts photographs, and documents, and by helping create opportunities for people to interpret them in meaningful thought-provoking, and engaging ways.
This is a fun geocache on the official Cache the Coast GeoTour presented by Oregon Coast Today, Wild Rivers Coast Food Trail, and the 2019 Live Culture Coast event.
The Wild Rivers Coast Food Trail is a collaborative effort to connect locals and visitors to the bounty available on Oregon’s South Coast. Supporting local food is a way to support our communities and the producers & crafters that work hard to grow and use our local ingredients.
Live Culture Coast is a sensory celebration of creativity, exploration set along the edge of the continent amidst the wilds and wonders of the Southern Oregon Coast. Running from Reedsport to Brookings, the Southern Oregon Coast landscapes are dramatic, literally breathtaking.
Live Culture Coast grew from a desire to explore the energetic possibilities of different ecosystems, ideas, microbes, stories, and people coming together. People and community. Locals and travelers. Microorganisms and food. Landscapes and creativity. By joining the people of Live Culture Coast, you yourself are an active starter for a beautiful place in the process of becoming. Geocaching got its start in Oregon in 2000, yet more proof that Oregon has an active starter culture. We hope you will join us to explore the edges.
