The Treasure Rocks of Neahkahnie Mountain, is no doubt the most important collection of information ever written about the area. It's difficult to over estimate the importance of the facts that you present here. Well done!!" Bob La Du, Ph.D., Portland, Oreogn. During Francis Drake's circumnavigation in 1579, in becoming the first European Captain to pilot a ship around the globe, he performed a 16th century navigation survey on Neah-kah-nie Mountain as a Symbolic Sovereign Act of a land claim by building rock cairns. The incised rock markers have become known as the Treasure Rocks of Neah-kah-nie Mountain. The autobiographical narrative of the Captain Francis Drake survey was conveyed to the author by M. Wayne Jensen, how he and Donald Viles made their discovery of the survey, its subsequent verification by Phil Costaggini and Robert J. Schultz, A.S.C.E., Oregon State University Master's thesis "Survey of Artifacts at Neah-kah-nie Mountain Oregon", and how the incised markers were eventually deciphered by the author are presented here.
Manzanita, Nehalem, and Wheeler are three villages in Oregon that function as one community. Located in the Nehalem Bay area of Oregon's Pacific coast, they share many essential services while maintaining different personalities as cities. The Nehalem Bay area includes Oswald West and Nehalem Bay State Parks, Neahkahnie Mountain, and a large bay where the Nehalem River enters the ocean. A few hardy souls made this area--the last part of the coast to be settled--in north Tillamook County their home starting in the 1870s. The new residents used industries such as dairy, logging, and tourism to harness the natural resources of their picturesque surroundings and develop their communities. Organizations such as the Pine Grove Community Club, the North County Recreation District, and the Hoffman Center for the Arts are just a few of the reasons these three villages attract thousands of tourists and visitors every year.
Discovery of Drake's "lost" navigational chart finally reveals secrets behind his voyage to America's West Coast in 1579. The secret location of Drake's colony "New Albion" is finally identified. This was the "first" British colony in America; and it marks the beginning of the British Empire. At last, we know the reason for an ongoing feud between Queen Elizabeth and Sir Francis. He wanted desperately to rescue the shipmates that he left behind in New Albion. Drake used a shipboard clock to map the West Coast. This is the first map of America that was made using a chronometer: thus Drake's map is accurate to within 15-degrees of the true longitude. Drake was not "just a pirate" as most historians assume. He was a naturalist, ethnographer, and geographer. Drake's map and his new ship design opened the way for the Dutch East India Company.

All'origine del mondo moderno ci fu un tempo in cui un 'drago' solitario sfidò il più grande impero della terra, quello 'su cui il sole non tramontava mai'. Tra viaggi infiniti, tempeste furibonde e battaglie impreviste, il corsaro Francis Drake pose le basi della supremazia inglese sui mari e costruì una vita che già per i suoi contemporanei era leggenda. Le imprese di Francis Drake, il grande corsaro inglese al servizio della regina Elisabetta I, hanno qualcosa di veramente epico. Fu un uomo capace di sfidare da solo, dopo gli iniziali raid condotti nel Mar dei Caraibi, l'impero spagnolo in America, tra il 1577 e il 1579. Durante le navigazioni, Drake e i suoi uomini affrontarono batta...
