Devils Punchbowl: The Wave Carved Coastal Cave, Oregon 

Thanks Judy!

Thank you Lynn!

Thank you. These big landmarks are great places to think. Wow swim out! Intense.

Wow that's scary Shannon

Thanks Max!

Thats cool. The erosion must be pretty slow for no visible changes in 50 years.

Nor I, old sot, but I've continued to discover and explore what I find. NASA has said people like me donate life time experience that has future applications... (wait for it)... on moons and other planets. Now shoot more hoops or swing a nine iron so NASA can go figure.

Thanks big Mike. Your energy is always appreciated. Some more Oregon Coast content coming your way.

I know where cave blow occurs within the rear lawn of a residence off East Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz, CA. A hole I've seen chest deep at low tide at cave rear. Which could have been utilized for compressed sea air to cool a home in an age of rising heat prospects. The city has repeatedly failed to block wave entry using rip-rap obstruction as the ocean is relentless when it comes to coastal erosion.

Thank you very much for the kind words. These are fun and relaxing for me to do.

Thank you!

Awesome. I haven't surfed in ages. I did newport a few times as a teenager. Surfing video sure would be cool to do...

Thanks Domingo!

Thanks Pam! We have a ton of features named 'devils' something. Not sure why? They thought the west coast was hell for some reason?

Thank you Rob. Gotta see both of those. Both can be such different viewing experiences depending on tides and weather.

Thanks. Yes you should! Just drive over there when you get that new baja!

Thank you very much. Do you know much about Terrible Tilly lighthouse? Anywhere to get a really good shot of it?

@@MattCookOregonI have mainly only viewed the light house from the main viewpoint: www.hikingproject.com/trail/7025298/tillamook-lighthouse-trail . That view is sweet but it can get crowed on weekends! I know you can see it from some other trails in Ecola state park as well.

Thanks so much. This channel is full of Oregon places if you need some ideas.

@@MattCookOregon yes, subscribed 👏

Thank you very much. Yankee is sending people here?! I better get my act together.

Thank you. Try to find the fossilized wood if you go. Wish I saw it.

Very dangerous! Every time I head to the coast, first thing I check is the high tide times.

Yep good stuff. I even saw a guy walking around the bowl on top. Probably not recommended.

Thank you very much. Lots of natural wonders here.

Thanks Rob. I just put out another today on another coast spot, Devils Churn.

Funny how Mother Nature prompted supernatural expressions. I saw another now known as The Moon Pool. A reflection upon lunar tidal forces. A tag which I appreciated.

What is?

Thanks for reminding me about Otter Rock. Just had a flashback recollection; a good one, too.

Thank you! Yeah there were lots on the beach to the south. I sat there awhile trying to get a good shot and that was the best one. Though I couldn't do any better!

Thanks Antonio. This reminded me so much of Thors Well, which peoe really liked. So I had to do a video here.

Thank you! Was my first time visiting since I was a kid. Working on an extensive coast project and thought this would be a fun quick one.

I've always gone at high tide but after watching this I'm excited to check it out during low tide and get the views from below! Happy trails!

Thanks Penny. Ahsoka is a great companion. She shows up in most videos and steals the show.

My pleasure! That's way awesome! Fur baby and the beautiful ocean what a perfect combination.

Welcome Brooke. I hope you like the great outdoors!

@@vincentblake2856 never heard of it. Any good?

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you very much. High tide would have been cool too. I have heard it completely fills to the top.

Thank you Sarah!

Common sense is right. Somehow the accidents keep happening on the coast so we need to keep mentioning it.

Not sure. I would guess a bit of both. It continues to collapse as the lower cave walls keep eroding.

I had a wide sea cave entry collapse the front the of length. To which a city added additional rock to deter waves. That post-earthquake response was overcome by tidal erosion. Half of West Cliff Drive dropped into the dark wet depths decades after the 'quake, So, a central length of a prior sealed blowhole sea cave was again blocked by city crews. That remaining third waits for renewed tidal forces to again channel ocean waves under the city. A relentless process. I enjoy the recreation aspects of drama and suspense in Santa Cruz, California.

No we just aren't yuppies lmao

Yep these coastal beauties can get people into trouble.

I'm broke.

@@MattCookOregon its cool man. i like your videos. im trying to find property up there

The history of this place is in Mississippi? Or there is another place named Devils Punchbowl there?

@@MattCookOregon no we definitely call it the punchbowl there are wild peach trees that grow there too

@@jimmei92 Sad History there, and oddly is was union soldiers that committed that horrible murder/genocide the same month the 13th amendment was ratified.. It's also sad that people in 1920 named it this rather than it's former name, "Satan's Cauldron" which I prefer.

Thank you. I don't spend too much time over there usually. But lately I am there lots because I am making a doc about all of our lighthouses! About halfway done filming them.

@@MattCookOregon A worthy project. I have photographed some, not all. One photo of mine of the Cape Blanco lighthouse made the cover photo for the 2018 annual report of a state agency.

Know a kayak owner out of California who paddled a home-made hull of wood framing and 'glassed fabric hull north up near the Alaska Dixon Passage. And paddled south again. Passing my reader twice (which was a clue for your present mystery). That ride became a sailing tri-hull and is now anchored off Southern California inside an island harbor.
