Geocache Description:

I was out caching in this part of the Wharton Tract and I noticed that there wasn't any caches at this location and wondered why. So I decided that I wanted to place one here.

Throughout the eastern seaboard, there are historical structures dotting the woods and hills. These structures are iron furnaces, which were used to convert iron ore to pig iron. From the colonial furnaces of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New England poured the iron that founded a nation. At the turn of the century, the Hanging Rock Iron Region (HRIR) of southern Ohio and Northern Kentucky produced most of the iron in the United States. Further south, the smelting furnaces and iron forges exist throughout West Virginia, Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and other states. What is left here is the foundation of the Hampton furnace packing area. Also the cache is not hidden in the ruins.
The cache is a film canister with a log book. Please bring your own pencil or pen to sign the log.
