When I first moved to Oregon, my mother said, "See if you can find this place. It's a beautiful waterfall, and there are orange lilies and foxgloves, and I think the name begins with an A. It's the most beautiful place in the entire world!" Well, she was talking about Alsea Falls. Once we figured this out, we just had to go visit. It truly is amazing, with so many different kinds of plants. We decided to place this one at the bridge on the way in, since that's a good place to stop and reflect, and of course take some pictures.

"Alsea Falls recreation site is nestled along the South Fork Alsea River and the South Fork Alsea River National Back Country Byway between the small communities of Alsea and Alpine. The byway is often used as an alternative route to Waldport along the Central Oregon Coast. The town of Alsea offers a post office, gas, food, church, a library and some overnight facilities. On your way to the town of Alsea, stop by Mary's Peak recreation area. Managed by the Siuslaw National Forest, it offers tent camping and numerous trail opportunities. The North Fork Alsea River fish hatchery offers views of large fish."
Please note that we could only get 25 foot accuracy when placing this cache. We double checked the coords on two GPSr units, but please let us know if you get better coords for this cache. The hint should help.
Cache is a peanut butter jar, a large small, but not quite big enough to be a regular.
Congratulations SwineFlew for being FTF!!
