Terracache No. 5

Mountain Bike Hill terracache.

And a FTF to boot!  Found at 0900.  (Had left Coos Bay around 0645)

I love this area of the coastline - especially the hiking through the mature conifer stands of the Cummins Creek Wilderness.  Granted this cache is not within the wilderness boundary but it REAL close and has a trail head nearby.  This cache, in fact, is on Oregon Dept. of Forestry property at the top of a fairly new clearcut (oh sorry, bad word for some folks!).  Great view of the Yachats River valley from here - also can see NW to the ocean and the forested hills west of Yachats.

Drove up USFS Road 55 about three miles to a point where a blocked-off logging road went up the hill to the cache.  Walked in from there - about .6 mile.
