Huge forest fires once ravaged Oregon's coastal mountains. Citizens replanted the burnt hillsides to form what is now Tillamook State Forest, the site of this, my first geocache. January 7, 2001. page

The forest is host to all manner of recreation, motorized and otherwise. I've taken to heading out that way to try my jeep driving skills on their rated four wheel drive trails. I am comfortable on beginner trails, and sometimes drive the intermediate ones, but you won't have to drive anything worse than gravel roads to find this cache.
My then new jeep parked about the short hike to the hiding spot just off the trail.
We parked to explore just a little bit of hiking trail that runs throughout the forest. We followed the foot trail along edge of a wooded meadow, the succession form a beaver pond. There we spotted the stump of a once grand old tree, a sight that would be hard to miss by anyone brought within 100 feet with the aid of their GPS.
I had prepared my cache in a plastic jar before we left home. We retrieved it from the jeep and stashed it at the foot of the stump on the side opposite the trail. We let the Garmin GPSIII+ average for a few minutes then noted its location.
Today's cache hunters have been challenged to visit a cache dating back to every month of the sport's history. I catalog here site visit reports to my rare cache from around the world.
