A traditional cache located near Mykawa Rd, simple park & grab.....Caching by bicycle
A little history: Mykawa road was named after a Japanese naval officer who was traveling by train in 1890 with a delegation through Texas. He noticed how the flat expanses would be suitable for rice cultivation. He returned as a civilian and is credited with introducing rice culture in this part of Texas. The railroad today still has a siding marker "Myakwa", but the local school was renamed Minnitex Civic Center still stands today.

Mr. Shinpei Mykawa was buried in Houston's Hollwood Cemetery on North Main.

So much for the history lesson, cache in a large camo pill bottle with log and pencil. Pirates were always after "pieces of eight" but this first to find will have to settle for just silver.

Have Fun!

Maybe it was just the dreary day, but this was an eerie place. At first glance it looks abandoned. But, as you see the traffic going and coming to and from behind the building you begin to wonder what's going on here.

I am surprised this cache doesn't have more finds. Sims Bayou nearby seems to be hopping and this place gets almost no action and it's a much more interesting place (at least after you've done a half-dozen of the Sims caches).

No trade. Signed log. Thanks for the hunt and the quick find.

Had to wait for a few muggles to leave before we could jump out and make the grab. TFTC
