This cache has been archived.

Reviewer Revan: Cache Owner (CO) has not responded, so I am regretfully archiving this cache to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking new cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace this cache sometime in the future (not to exceed 10 days from the date of this entry), just contact me (by e-mail), and assuming it still meets the current Guidelines, I will consider unarchiving this cache.

Please be advised this is not a guarantee that this geocache will be unarchived. Many factors will go into my decision. The most important of which is how you responded to geocachers who tried to communicate with you regarding the problem(s) with this geocache hide and how you communicated with me, the Reviewer Revan.

Geocache Description:

First in a series of caches dedicated to the pioneers who founded the West Texas area

This cache is near the site of the first commercial business in the Lubbock area: a mercantile and dry goods store owned by George Singer, which opened its doors in 1880, and soon became the meeting place and watering hole for travelers far and wide.
If one store is good, two stores must better. So decided a Frenchman, named DeQuazy, who opened a competing store 100 yards East of Singer's store soon after Singer arrived, and became the second business in the Lubbock area. Few remember DeQuazy, and his reasons for setting up shop right next door to the competition have long since been forgotten. His bid to do things bigger and better than George Singer ended in 1884, when he quit his post as postmaster, and moved away. His may well have been the first going out of business sale in Lubbock.
Cache is a camo'ed pill bottle, with room for small trade items. BYOP.
