The South Coast Geocachers of Oregon have posted their annual Cache the Coast Wintertime Fun event on Saturday, February 18, 2012 at the Red Lion Inn in Coos Bay. This is one of the largest events on the coast and features a HUGE raffle. If I remember correctly, ImJasper had to rent a moving van to bring home all his winnings a few years ago.

Add to the fun by attending the Friday night event, "Weekend Blast Off" Meet & Greet at Gino's Pizza.

The Red Lion Hotel is offering a special geocacher's rate of $75 per night, including breakfast. Keep watching the cache page for other specials.

The Coos Bay area is a geocaching mecca featuring hundreds of caches of every description. Take your pick of clever urban hides, hikes in the dunes, the inspiring Cape Arago, or rich forest caches.

And as long as you'll be there plan to attend the STs of Norway's 2-29 Days of the Year Finale to complete your Days of Year Challenge.
