Geocache Description:

Another piece of the local history

This town came into being around 1900 to house the railway workers. Later it had Limestone kilns to supply the Smelter industry. It had a school and a Post Office which also served the Town of Drake (was Cedar Glade) across Hells Canyon. They had to walk across the rail trestle. The only remaining things are the foundation of the Limestone kiln (near the Railroad) and the Cedar Glade Cemetery.
The access road is dirt, and wide - it now leads to a new Limestone Quarry Mine. The cache is not in the Quarry - do not pass through the gate.
