The 10 Cent Tour of Oldtown: A View of the School Traditional Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

FrancisScottKey: ### Geocache Owner Action Needed ###

It appears this listing is indicating issues needing addressed by the CO. The recent logs may contain more details about what sort of issues are evident.

Please visit the container quickly when any logs indicate there is a problem. If you're unable to visit the geocache promptly, you'll need to disable the listing. I have disabled this listing for you at this time.


What to do next?

  1. Post pertinent information with the 'Write Note' log type asap.
    (If you're encountering unusual circumstances for ongoing issues, post a note every 30 days so the listing doesn't appear abandoned)
  2. Visit the container and provide maintenance as needed.
  3. Update the posted coordinates (if necessary) making sure they are accurate.
  4. Confirm the geocache's trackable inventory.
  5. After the geocache is up to the standard, then post an Owner Maintenance log.
  6. Lastly, enable your geocache.

If you don't want to maintain the geocache any longer, you can

  • Find someone to take ownership of your geocache. You'll need to adopt the listing to them.
  • You can archive the listing. This re opens the area for new geocaches. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your geocache.

If no intervention from the CO is evident within 30 days from today's date, the listing will fall into archival status.

Geocache Description:

From gz you can see the last of the Oldtown Schools.

Coords +/- 20 ft. Seems to be the best I can get with my eTrex in this spot. If you can get better coords, please send them along so I can update the page.

I have up the difficulty level by a point from when Mike originally placed this cache. It blends in very well with its surroundings.

The Oldtown School, now the Oldtown Community Center, closed its doors as a school with the 23 member strong graduating class of 2000. A group of local citizens and school alumni, headed by Mr. Larry House, bought the building and turned it into a community center and business complex. Currently the building houses an auto repair business, upholstery business, and the School House Kitchen, a nice place to grab a bite to eat while in the area. Through donations and proceeds from the businesses, the owners try to keep the gym open for the children of Oldtown, maintain the playground and ball field, and help support the Oldtown Summer Fest, held annually the third weekend of June.

The cache is not on the community center grounds but is close by.

Congrats to KG8GN for FTF!
