Geocache Description:

A nano cache hidden at a little-known location with historical significance - the old Barrow Star Filling Station - where Clyde Barrow (of Bonnie & Clyde infamy) lived as a child.

Hidden by Scrappydoopup, Scooby Drew, Monhina (AKA Velma) and Voodoo, Traveling Flamingo of Mystery, Inc.

Clyde's father, Henry, opened the Barrow Star Filling Station on what was then Eagle Ford Road, and his family operated and resided there when Clyde was a child.

The building still stands, although its surroundings have changed drastically over the years. It's a bit eerie to stand in such a historical place - probably because it hasn't really changed much in the terms of appearance, since the Barrow family lived there.

After finding the cache, take a moment to imagine what life must have been like at the filling station during the turn of the 20th century.
