Geocache Description:

Abandoned Cabin in Coal Mine Country.

This is the ORIGINAL Coal Miners Cabin...
It is no longer archived... Good Luck

Once you make it to the Cabin, it is all down hill.
The hard part of this cache is that as a crow flies, the closest you can get with an automobile is 1/2 mile.
Naturally, once you park your vehicle, the journey begins.
Choose the right path, and tennis shoes will work.
Choose the wrong path, and Hip Waders will not save you.
I would not recomend small children for this journey, because of OPEN WELLS near the cache site.
This one is going to take a little thought, and is not going to be a walk in the park.
DO NOT CROSS any fences, or you just may be trespassing on Private Property.
And like I said, once you find the cabin, it is all down hill, and all will be well.
In this Cache, you will find a few toy's, a 1 ball and Captain Leno's Signature Item, A SILVER COIN !
Have a good time, and be carefull....
There is also a lot of ATV activity in this area. a good 4 wheeler could save LOTS of walking.

There has been some question as where to park your vehicle for this cache.
The only place that I can assure you of public parking for this cache is in front of the Universal City Park in town (under the Water Tower).
At this point, if you walk South through town,and then west upon comming to the Fence, you will be on a right path.
Note that I said "A" right path.
There are several way's to get to this cache, one of which is from Range Line Road (West of Cache) or from the Young Mens Club (South East of Cache).
I have never known of any vehicles ever being towed in from these two alternative starting spots, but I can not guarentee that from these spots.
But Rest assure, if you park your vehicle at the Park near the water tower and town hall, your vehicle will be safe.
This cache is not a WALK RIGHT TO IT cache, it will take some thinking......
