Greetings,

It has been a while since I first looked at this cache. I can't find any recent responses about maintaining this cache so for the time being it will be archived and removed from the active cache listings. We are no longer leaving caches stay disabled for extended periods of time.

Groundspeak and the geocaching community appreciate your contributions to geocaching and I hope to see this cache back in operation soon.

If you can get it back up and running in the next week or so contact me to get it re-listed. Otherwise plan to move it slightly and set up a new cache page.

[B][green]Most problems can be solved with good communication so reply back to the reviewer and we will do everything possible within the guidelines to get your cache published. It is best to give me as much information as possible instead of saying nothing at all. This will speed up the process and we can get your cache published. [/green][/b]

Geocache Description:

There are a couple of pull-off spots in the area.

FTF – Andy’s certificate

This cache is in memory of “The Walkin’ Preacher of the Ozarks”, Rev. Guy Howard. His wife had died of cholera in Iowa. After a bit of time he brought his boys, (one very sick) to the Ozarks. He had read “The Shepherd of the Hills” and felt it would be a good place for them.

In the 1930’s an airport was built in the area of the cache. There was a Government Transient Camp where 240 men from all walks of life lived and worked. They were oil-drillers, lumberjacks, cowhands, craftsmen. They tended to follow the booms in industry.
Rev Howard was asked to serve the men as social worker.

As well as many, many other churches he also preached at a Branson area church at Gretna. The town was in the valley where the charcoal plant now lays beside the railroad tracks where the depot had once been. He was also invited to preach at the Sycamore Log Church that is still offering Sunday church services.
