The original cache was a small round Altoids tin but has been
replaced twice...tons of thanks to agateseeker! Please be sure to
re-hide it as well or better than you found it. Take the Yachats
River Road 7 miles to the concrete bridge. Cross the concrete
bridge, turn left and drive approximately 1.5 miles.
While surfing the net prior to going on vacation in 2001, we
discovered that Oregon has more covered bridges than any state west
of the Mississippi. We decided to visit some of them during our
vacation last year. The bridges are beautiful structures and the
co-ordinates listed will take you to our favorite. This bridge is
one of the shortest at forty-two feel in length. It was built in
1938 and was the last bridge built by Otis Hamer. The bridge was
restored and dedicated to Lincoln County on December 16th 1989.
Equally as impressive as the bridge is the incredible tree that
towers over the road just before you enter the bridge. If anyone
can identify the type of tree, we would love to know what it is. We
just couldn’t resist returning this year to place a cache here (our
first) and share this area with our geocaching friends. Since we
live in Nevada we will be unable to maintain the physical cache so
you have two choices. You can score it as a micro cache and log it
immediately, or as a virtual by e-mailing us the 5 digit number
that you will find printed/painted inside the bridge. Please do not
post your answer even if it is encrypted.
The original contents of the cache are:
A handwritten Cache letter and an extra piece of paper
A child’s necklace-red, white and pink beads that was taken from
