The high desert of Deschutes County is a stark contrast to our home on the lush green Oregon coast. In August of 2008, we thoroughly enjoyed a weeks vacation there exploring the many geologic formations dominating the landscape.

Most of my geocaching adventures occur on the Oregon coast where I live. Today’s excursion takes place along a beautifully rugged segment just south of Gold Beach at Cape Sebastian.

The first geocache ever placed was right here in Oregon. In May 2000, a black bucket was hidden along a rural road in Clackamas county, it’s waypoint shared online and geocaching was born!

Introducing a blog to promote geocaching as a means of exploring and enjoying Oregon’s vast outdoors. I wander to the four corners of the state and report what I see. Given Oregon’s great diversity of landscape, I should never run out of new material.
