I located this really neat spot my freshman year in college. I don't know much about the remains of this building. My best guess is that it was once a spring house for a local farm. What I do know is that the rock making up its foundation is the native sandstone for the area.
Also as you enter the forest you will notice a small ravine and after a heavy rain fall or snow melt there is usually a nice waterfall.
I created this as a quick cache. I do recommend for anybody that has the time to do the multicache on campus. If you do the multicache this cache will fall in with your travels.
Cache was placed by Geoextreme87 but was adopted by byroncookie upon his graduation from school. Then it was adopted by superchucklez upon that cookie has retired.
