To get to the cache from Highway 78, you must pass a crossroads.
Continuing east, you'll see a grove of trees that surround a storm
cellar in the field on the right. That is all that remains of the
Savage schoolhouse. The cache is not near here - stay away. I just
wanted to brag that the property owner (whose son is a geocacher
and former student of mine) lets me metal detect there...I've found
some cool stuff.
You will be doing a bit of internet work for this one. The above
coordinates are bogus. Use the famous SAVAGES
below to determine the cache location.
