Sunday Drive Series...Two-fer Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

*gln: ARCHIVING ABANDONED CACHE

Greetings iamgolden2268,

Looks like our timing is off and It’s time to say goodbye to this cache.

Since I haven't any maintenance here in a very long time, I am going to assume that your priorities have changed and you’ve gone in a different direction.

Archiving due to lack of maintenance is permanent.
CACHE ARCHIVAL IS PERMANENT.

Let me know if I can be of assistance in the future.

Thanks a MILLION for all you have done, Glenn

Micro, log only. Don’t forget your pen and please write small!

The cache itself is in the location your gps takes you, but this cache has another attraction for those of you hunting Bench Marks. We don’t know much about bench marks, but we were intrigued when we ran across this one in this rather out of the way place.

Once you’ve found the cache, walk to the other side and the bench mark is on the top post. If you would like to log your visit to the bench mark, go to www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM23VH or simply click on the link in the listing for nearest waymarks.

About our Sunday Drive Series of caches…

Back in the 60’s & early 70’s, there was nothing, in my young mind, better than piling into the family car to go for a Sunday drive. Gas was cheap but so were wages, so it usually meant we had to scrounge around the house for whatever change we could come up with to fund our adventure. We’d take off in one direction or another, with one of us kids hollering, “left, Daddy, left!” and go wherever the day would take us.

We would drive down dirt country roads or highways that still weren’t paved at that time, looking at how the others live. We would explore cemeteries, parks, bridges, and occasionally a roadside fruit & vegetable stand. If we had enough money, the day usually ended at some Mom & Pop drive-in where we’d buy nickel (then dime, then quarter…) ice cream cones. Life was good and those memories are precious to me to this day.

We started talking about a cache route with the Sunday Drive theme a few months ago and finally have had time to put something together. We wanted a concentrated area of caches so that people could come out to our neck of the woods, enjoy the scenery away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but have enough caches to log to make the drive here worthwhile. The caches aren’t fancy, often the most interesting view is of the stream in the holler, an old tombstone, or the farmhouse across the way. We’ve tried to vary the degree of difficulty so they’ll be fun. The main idea is to relax and enjoy a little taste of Americana that has slipped away with our busy lives and three dollar a gallon gasoline.

So set the radio station to the oldies, roll down your windows, and let your GPS take you back to a simple time and place. We hope you enjoy the ride!
