This was an unexpected
hide.
I think it's kind of neat-o and I hope you think so, too.
This is one of those places you decide to explore and realize "I
HAVE TO PUT A CACHE HERE!"
This site is the former
location of the Captain Kidd Drive-In located at 1500 Hempstead
Dr.
It was owned and operated by Levin Associates of Dayton, opened in
1975 and closed in 1988
With their brother Sam, twins Al and Lou Levin were Dayton drive-in
pioneers.
The Levins opened their first theater, the Sherwood Drive-In, in
1946. At one point, they owned 17 Midwest theaters, both indoor and
outdoor.
If you do a little exploring, you will find the cement foundations
of the concessions stand and other buildings overgrown with thick
underbrush and large trees.
Also you will discover several large round cement platforms,
possibly for playground equipment.
The drive-in movie theater is
a classic symbol of Americana.
Dayton's first drive-in theater opened in 1942 on Valley Street,
now the site of a trucking company.
By 1956, the Dayton area had more drive-in theaters per capita than
any other city in the world.
Despite the decline of open-air theaters in recent decades, Ohio
remains among the top five drive-in theater states in the
U.S.
The Dayton area still boasts three thriving outdoor theaters
— the Dixie Twin, Melody 49 and Skyborn
drive-ins.
The Cache
It's a camo painted sandwich sized Lock-n-Lock starting with some
baseball cards in baggies, a bobber and a couple
TB's.
Though everything is quite
sturdy and secure, use caution when accessing the
cache.
Good Luck, Be Careful and most of all Have
Fun
