Tunnel 13 - Oregon History
The story of the Siskiyou Massacre, one of the bloodiest and saddest stories in Oregon History.
I hope you like this short documentary. It's a little rough around the edges (I need to find a better source for historical images so they aren't so low resolution), but I think you should find the story is presented well.

Fun Things to Do in Reedsport on the Oregon Coast
Reedsport is a small town on the Oregon Coast, located at the point where the Umpqua River flows into the Pacific. Reedsport is nicely situated in the midst of the famous Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. These features combine to make Reedsport a scenic and fun place to visit and an access point to a broad range of outdoor recreation. Here are my picks for fun things to do in Reedsport, Oregon.
Umpqua Discovery Center
Reedsport's Umpqua Discovery Center is a little tricky to find but well worth a visit. The museum has two wings -- one devoted to the natural history of the region, the other devoted to the human history. All of the exhibits are well designed to appeal to both children and adults. The natural history section is a simulated hike called Pathways To Discovery - Exploring Tidewater Country. The walls along the way are covered in exquisitely detailed murals containing the flora and fauna that call the area home.
Interpretive signs, exhibits, drawers, and recordings are scattered along the route, filling you in on the local critters and landscape. Be sure to spend some time in the theatre cave to view one of the short films. The other section inside of the Umpqua Discovery Center is called Tidewaters & Time. You'll take a walk through time, learning about the local human history and culture through a variety of sights and sounds. The Coastal Indian Tribes, early explorers, pioneers, loggers, fishermen, and early settlement are all covered.
The center of the Umpqua Discovery Center contains a well-stocked gift shop that includes books, nautical items, gift items, and learning toys. The museum sits along the Umpqua River. Decks and boardwalks behind the center allow you to enjoy great views of Reedsport's bridges and estuarine environment. Take the stairs up to the viewing tower to extend your view.
Umpqua Lighthouse State Park
The charming Umpqua Lighthouse lies within a working U.S. Coast Guard facility and can be visited on a scheduled tour. Nearby you'll find the Coastal Visitor Center & Museum, located in the old Coast Guard Administration Building. The visitor center houses many interesting exhibits and artifacts related to the history of Coast Guard activities in the area. Umpqua Lighthouse State Park visitors can also enjoy camping, walking trails, whale watching, and picnicking.
Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area
You'll head east out of Reedsport on Highway 38 to get to the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area, home of a resident herd of magnificent Roosevelt elk. The viewing area stretches along a 3-mile section of Oregon Highway 38, with two viewing areas and several observation pull-outs. The Dean Creek Elk outdoor interpretive exhibits allow you to learn more about the elk, as well as other local flora and fauna. Another BLM-operated recreation site, the O.H. Hinsdale Rhododendron Garden, is located on the other side of Highway 38.
Oregon Dunes NRA Visitor Center
Staffed by expert park rangers, the official visitor center for the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is located right along Highway 101 in Reedsport. You'll be able to find out anything and everything you want to know about Oregon Dunes activities, as well as other local recreation and attractions. The Oregon Dunes NRA Visitor Center also has a few interpretive exhibits and a small bookstore.

The beauty of the Oregon Coast will surely take your breath away and provide you with a welcoming place to call your home, or maybe even your second home. Oregon's nearly 363 miles of pristine coastline is made up of diverse terrain that is sure to entice anyone to live on its shores; with its rugged cliffs, evergreen forests, sand dunes and spectacular beaches you will certainly want to explore every inch of the coastline. From Astoria in the north to Brookings in the south, follow the shoreline through a variety of wondrous places including countless quaint towns with amazing offerings of seafood, historic lighthouses, breathtaking viewpoints, stunning state parks, awe-inspiring art galleries and museums, and a world class aquarium. Mild temperatures with one of the best areas for storm watching during the winter months, dramatic scenery and a wide range of recreational activities make the coast one of the state's most popular regions to own a home.
Cape Arago - WWII Lookout/Radar Station/Bunker
Cape Arago - WWII Lookout Bunker
Today I visited an abandoned WWII military lookout & bunker which is located at Cape Arago on the Central Oregon Coastline. The observation post was probably there to search for enemy Japanese ships and submarines during WWII with either sight or possibly radar. What's really interesting is that there is no reference to this WWII structure in any historic literature or documents that I have found.

Once you are at the coordinates, look on the east side of the road for a Cape Arago Pack Trail sign. Follow this path uphill through a coastal rain forest of Fir, Spruce, Wax Myrtle and Alder for 0.3 mile. Watch for the 2nd trail that branches off to the right, to find a
roofless 4-room concrete bunker, a military observation post from World War II.
Update: Through some recently discovered documents, this was indeed a Radar Station. The Station ID was B-28. The type of radar was SCR-270 radar in operation in 1944.
