Erastus Call Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

TMarksy: I am shutting this one down. It’s a great story of a man from the area who fought in America’s Civil War.

Who knows? Maybe something else will come along to tell more of his story in the future.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to visit “The Rat” not far from where he lived.

Keep on caching! 😎🕵️‍♂️🤙🏼
