The Treasure Trove (LDR Farm Operation) Traditional Cache

This cache will introduce you to the Llano Del Rio Socialist Colony, Dairy Operation located near Highway 138, and 165th Street East.

Llano Del Rio was a socialist colony located in Antelope Valley, California. It was founded in the year 1914 by Job Harriman. Although it was established as a corporation it was intended to adhere to the principles of socialism. Each member owned equal stock in the company, and all were paid a wage of four dollars a day. The colony was abandoned in 1917.

The crenelled walls are the ruins of the dairy barn. This barn along with the massive silo were once home to 100 dairy cows. The walls remind me of a great fortress.
