Madame Josephine Felix Traditional Cache

This is one of those places which not many people see because of its remote location. I've driven by here several times and never even noticed the monument. Here's the information about the lady that used to live here:
Madame Josephine Felix arrived from France in 1852, one of the first settlers in Salt Springs Valley. Soon widowed, she established a way station at the junction of the Angels and Central Ferry Roads. She wed neighbor Allen Hettick and the couple developed a prosperous farm on the Madame Felix Ranch where she died in 1880. She figured prominently in the social life of the valley and was so respected that the mining district, post office and telephone exchange were named for her.
Beyond the marker you can see the remnants of a foundation. If you come to this cache from the Copperopolis Area, you will also drive by the McCarty Ranch, owned by another prominent family in this area.
The cache is not located on the marker. There is no need to cross the fence. Please replace the cache exactly the way you found it. Oh...and have fun!
