Geocache Description:

The cache is in the McClanahan Park in The Village of Dixie Inn.


The beginning of The Village of Dixie Inn is attributed to a man named Whitford Morgan. At the time it was only a point where two highways intersected. They were Highway 80 and the Cotton Valley Road. US Highway 80 was called the Dixie Overland Highway and the area was originally known as Dixie Heights.

Whitford’s father, Jim Morgan, and his family moved to the Minden area from South Carolina many years ago. He owned some prime farming land that the US Government took by force to create the Caney Lake Reservoir. The family moved to Highway 80 East of Minden after leaving the Caney Creek area.

Whitford’s contribution was building a restaurant and motel at the crossroads mentioned earlier calling the establishment "Dixie Inn and Restaurant".

Even though there is a road going down the hill, the area at the bottom can be very wet after a rain and could cause problems. If wet, I suggest you park near the municipal building at the top and walk down.

The cache is a camouflaged pill bottle. Be sure and return to the spot you found it.

There could be muggles. Use stealth.

Congratulations to CajanCacheMan on being the First-To-Find.
