Geocache Description:


As early as the 1850's this was an essential place to stop. During the gold rush to the Thunder Mountain Mines, Sweet served as an important freighter's supply station. At the turn of the century, Sweet boasted of three hotels, three saloons, a bank, a newspaper, two lodge halls, and other business. It was named for the first postmaster Ezekiel Sweet. After the gold rush subsided and a series of fires in the business district, the town began to deteriorate, and was not rebuilt. The water trough is still a popular place to stop and drink the clear, cold, artesian water. Take a moment to read the wooden sign about the history of the trough. Also it has a nice park and a picnic table. Enjoy!! Bring your own pencil...
