Bottle Hunt

2023 Oregon BottleDrop Hidden Bottle Hunt

The Genealogical Forum of Oregon (GFO) is excited about participating in BottleDrop’s statewide Hidden Bottle Hunt this year, and we’re inviting you to join us and help spread the word!

The Hidden Bottle Hunt is a statewide celebration of Oregon’s iconic Bottle Bill, the first—and still the best—Bottle Bill in the nation. BottleDrop will hide six commemorative, Oregon flag-inspired bottles in parks across the state. From July 5-9, Bottle Drop will release clues on its Bottle Hunt webpage that will help guide you to the bottles. Each finder gets to keep the beautiful bottle and direct a $1,000 donation to a BottleDrop Give nonprofit of their choice, and that could be us!

You can learn more, read the rules, and sign up to get clues delivered to your inbox at bottledrop.com/hunt.

 

Happy hunting!

 

Would you like to "bee" part of the "hive mind" to review the clues, solve the puzzles, and find those hidden bottles?  Please send an email with your name and email address to ed.vandehey@gfo.org to join our team of sleuths on a mission to find the treasure and have the GFO selected as a nonprofit to receive a $1000 donation.  Release your inner Sherlock!
