We've placed this cache with a ski theme here in Gould along SH 14
in honor of our friend and fellow geocacher, Georgie, because of
his love for skiing in 'The Boat' and also for finding his 500th
cache. Please maintain the winter sports theme if you add any
items...thanks!
Jay Penfold built this general store in the 1920's. This early
settlement was first known as Penfold, but it was later renamed
Gould in honor of the Eddy Gould family that homesteaded in this
area back in the late 1800's. The Michigan River Timber Company
rented space in the Penfold Store and opened a cookhouse. The river
across the highway in the willows is the Michigan River. The MRTC
timbered in and around Gould from 1936-1953 before moving over to
the Rand area.
Keep an eye out for moose...have fun!
