Geocache Description:

The cache is located just off the road, easily accessible.

The corner acreage directly to the south of you is the site of the original area settlement known as Bandytown. The site was homesteaded by Captain Tom Bandy, a civil war veteran who came to this area after the war to setup a trading post and town settlement on this site. As poor luck would have it, the railroad came through the area and chose to lay their tracks one mile south of here (stopping in the area for the winter of 1879 thus creating the town of Volga) and his town settlement never took root as he had planned. He died in the area many years later and is buried just to the SW of here (see Bandytown cache #2)
