Geocache Description:

Located at the Fort Stevens state park at the northwestern tip of Oregon state.

All along the coast of Oregon state you'll see signs that point to directions to head if there is a warning issued for a Tsunami (Japanese word for a large "tidal wave" usually caused by an offshore earthquake). This cache, along with many of the caches placed along the Oregon coastline, would be washed away by a Tsunami with a wave height of a few yards/metres or more.

Onto the cache... The cache is located within the state park and near popular beach and lake access points. Note that there is no parking near the cache site itself, so you'll have to walk or bike to the cache site, but there are some very nice paved trails through this section of the park.


1 Sept 2003: There have been some concerns over the location of this cache and damage to the mossy grounds around it. Before seeking this one out, please look at the spoiler picture below to see the general location. You should NOT tear up moss to find this one. Once found, please re-hide the cache, but leave a bit of the coloured lid exposed so that future cachers will see it. The container is a 3 quart clear plastic with a yellow lid. Thanks and happy hunting!
