About 5 1/2 miles north of Seven Troughs.
Magnetic key holder with a log book bring your own pencil.
A small mining community about five and a half miles north of
Seven Troughs in the Seven Throughs District, Farrel was amoung the
four towns to grow up in th first decade of the twentieth century
when rich gold ores were discovered. The first discovery of riches
was made in 1863 but nothing materialized until the Seven Throughs
boom in 1907.
Farrel never figured prominently amoung its three larger sister
camps of Seven Throughs, Mazuma and Vernon. Today it is the site of
a summer cattle range camp. It is situated in Stonehouse
Canyon.
Ghosts of Humbolt Region by Dave Basso
Gold was discovered in 1906 and a rush to the area began. Within
a year, 200 people were crowded into tents. However, the veins
proved to be shallow and the town was abandoned by 1910.
Foundations and rubble remain.

Nvh2ofowler & I were out making our final push to finish the DeLorme Challenge today...750 miles, 7 quads and three states in 16 hours. This cache gave us page 27.
Glad we had the coords for this one in the laptop, because our first choice ended up being a DNF. Fortunately, we were able to make a quick find here. TFTH

What a beautiful day to do a little roaming around the back country of page 27, in the great state of Nevada. We scared up a deer, a couple of rabbits and a few lizards. Farrell didn't have much left, just a few discarded household items & a couple broken down vehicles. Found the cache with a bit of searching and heading back into Lovelock. Thanks for the find!
