Geocache Description:






grande prarie school signslate and books





"School days, school days
Dear old golden rule days.
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick"

The words to this 1907 hit song reflect a different era
but this cache shows it was a long
uphill walk for schooling.

Parking available on the side of the road.
Wide shoulder, but be cautious...
short easy walk..
There is now a stile to cross over the fence.
