Welcome To Ardmore
Traveling through this area about 10+ times a
year and of course, no cache for this little town, Mrs. P and
I had to get a cache up and running.
This cache is dedicated to Ardmore SD, which is
about one+ miles north east of this sign. The tree row to the left
side of the picture you can faintly make out the profile of a
house. Pretty much a ghost town here, but you do see some
activity around a few houses and such. I am including the info from
Wikipedia for your reading enjoyment.
"Ardmore is a
ghost town in
Fall River County, South Dakota,
United
States. In 1927, President
Calvin
Coolidge stopped in Ardmore. The town survived the
Great
Depression without one family on welfare. Rough times
eventually fell on Ardmore, and by 2004 it was an isolated ghost
town. The last time the town had a recorded population when the
1980
census showed a population of 16 residents.The town is believed
to be named after Dora Moore, a local teacher and is at an
elevation of 3,556 feet.
Ardmore was featured in the
May 2004 issue of National
Geographic Magazine.The ghost town is located approximately one
mile across the South
Dakota-Nebraska border
along
South Dakota State Highway 71. It is located next to a stretch
of
BNSF railroad.
There are approximately 15-25
abandoned houses at the site. The town sign is still
standing."
You are looking for a
magnetic container. Should be an obvious find. This a one of those
'get you there caches.'
Take some pictures
have fun.
As usual hide as good or better.
