Geocache Description:

This is a marker just off the main highway, plenty of parking space. Very easy walk from the car.

On our way to Joplin we always pass this historic marker. Most people don’t even know it’s there. So we decided it would be a neat idea to place a cache there. It’s a good place to stop for a rest or even a picnic. This is a small camo container that contains a log. Bring your own pen or pencil. F.T.F Pirate Booty Inside.

The bronze tablet on the shaft bears the inscription: "This Tablet Marks the Intersection of the Old Military Road of 1837 With the New State Highway No. 57. Erected by Oceanic Hopkins Chapter of the D. A. R., Pittsburg, Kan., 1935.

Congratulations to prplgorilla being the F.T.F
