Geocache Description:


In 1910 there began a gigantic industrial dream to build a "Great Cement City" called East Princeton, with an enormous cement plant and a complete powerhouse. The dream was to cost over a million dollars. It also cost a number of workers their lives. Four years and hundreds of thousands of man-hours by skilled craftsmen, stone masons, carpenters and engineers, resulted in a colossal architectural achievement known as The Portland Cement Plant .But, nine short months later, the dream fell into silence: the plant was closed down. Some say they ran out of limestone from the on-site mountains; some say the coal they needed for the operation failed to appear because of conflicts with the needs of the First World War, and some say it was never meant to succeed.

Now, some 80 years later, this plant has become known as PRINCETON CASTLE . Prior to the closure of the cement plant, a Mr. George Edwards surfaced in Princeton. He was greatly admired by Princeton's townsfolk -the ladies found him to be a great dancer, the men found him to be a great horseman and a big spender. No one ever suspected that Mr. George Edwards was actually Bill Miner, the notorious train robber.

The Canadian Pacific Railway, Wells Fargo and other American railways had all been victimized by him. He was the first train and stagecoach robber in North America. Bill Miner's hideout was on the hillside near Princeton Castle. Rumors have it, his unfound treasure still resides there…

This cache will bring you to a small pullout along the road. From this point you can get a glimpse of the Princeton Castle. You are looking for a small lock and lock.
