If you look to your right of the cache you will see a tall tower
that use to sit in town. It was the old texaco sign that was put in
Moran back in the 20's. Even thought it does not say Texaco anymore
the people who owned the sign moved it out to there farm. Where the
sign sits now use to be the very first natural gas line back in the
1910's.
Cottle No. 1, this gas well was the first natural gas discovery in
the region Cottle #1 Gas Well in 1910 and Moran became the supplier
of gas to many area towns. Three years later, oil was discovered
with the Edwards No. 1 well. The oil boom, which brought thousands
of people to town, lasted through the 1920's and Moran became known
as "The World's Greatest Shallow Oil Field".
This is what the plot looked like back then. Take a pic with the
sign and post it. Moran,Texas has a lot of history.
For this one you do not have to enter the gate. the cache is on the
ground by the gate. But do not cross over. The owners do know its
there. Have talked to them about it.
