The House Where Nobody Lives

Nothing left of the house but the stones from the foundation, the big shady tree, and daffodils that come up in the spring. Years ago seeing the flowers in the middle of the woods led me to the remains of this homestead. The house was gone before Lake Monroe was completed in 1962. I don't know any more background on this site, so if anyone knows please post the history. I'm sure there's a story that goes with this spot. There's a mini "false cache" that you should find easily, the actual cache is more down to earth. Use reasonable caution (as always) and watch your step! This one has the usual log book, pencils, sharpener, and camera. Please log your vist and take a picture. There's some trade stuff appropriate for an abandoned house. Please re-set the actual cache where you found it. And look out for MICE!
(Note: "False Cache" is very close... and still not found as of 4/21/08... its small, but has a prize and a log!)

Cache Logs

October 31 by DocW (5052 found) My last day for this trip in the US I fully dedicated to Geocaching. Right started at dawning of the day on this peninsula and did all 18 or 19 traditional caches in one go. Yes go, I walked all the way, it was something of 8-10 miles in total and I was back in the car roughly after 4 hours. Yess, this is what geocaching is all about, nice hiking, some bushwhacking and no one around. Thanks for placing this cache and best regards, DocW from Germany [view this log]
