Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

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.

Found with our friend Razzer for his second cache find ever, on our way home after a fabulous day of boarding in the sunshine. We loved seeing more of these ruins and telling him their story. This is just another great example of the fun places caching can take you with a nice history lesson to boot. Thanks for the fun find. Happy New Year!!

This was a wonderful place to take the grandsons to hunt for a cache. They loved exploring the area down this secret road.
