Yaquina

This small tribe of Indians on the Oregon coast formed a small linguistic family speaking the Alsean or Yakokna language that is now extinct. They lived on the Yaquina River and bay near present Newport, Oregon. By the early explorers and writers they were classed with the Salishan tribes to the north, but later were shown to be linguistically independent. A coastal and river people they survived as fishermen, and primarily hunted seals. Because of their coastal location they came into contact with white trading vessels in the late 18th century; at which time they reported to have numbered as many as 5,000. The tribe began to diminish as white settlers moved in, hastened by the activities of the Hudson's Bay Company, miners, and the Rogue Wars of the 1850s. The remaining Yaquina people live on the Siletz Reservation in Oregon, and are mostly of mixed blood.Yaquina

Memfis Mafia and I had plans to get near 1000 caches this weekend in South Dakota. Come Thursday when we were to pick up our rental car from Enterprise they said sorry we do not have a car for you. Even though we reserved one a month in advance. There was not another car in town to rent so we called off our trip.

Today we ran out to get enough caches to finish our Hidden Creatures. We ended up over 100 on the day and about 10% of out plan. In any case this was a cache we got today. Thanks for the hide.
