isht kinta: Since you have not responded to my reviewer log about your cache, nor did you post a note to your cache page telling me and others of your intention to address the issue with it, the cache has been archived.

Some time ago, I posted a note to your cache page requesting a response from you to post what you were planning to do with the cache on the page and to send me a note. I have no record of a response, and no response tells me that you are not planning on replacing or repairing this cache. If I am wrong with that assumption, please let me know promptly. I can always unarchive the cache for you if needed.

If you are here for the numbers, the First to Find or just another notch on your braggin pole, go for it. Find, Sign, Log, and you’re done. All you need is at the coordinates listed above. UHA-RAH! You are out of here!
But if a little adventure is what you seek, and photo ops. too, this is the place. This is part of the range area of Old Camp Livingston known as Breezy Hill and you are on the firing line of the 37MM Anti-Tank Gun, the standard issue at the beginning of WWII . Camp Livingston was active from 1940 to 1945 as a training base and a prisoner camp. To this writer’s knowledge only the 37MM was used at this range. The cache is on this 20yds. X 100yds. flat plain used as the fire base some sixty-five years ago. It is said that this site was also used as a small airstrip for spotter planes. West of this point, the target area was a system using a narrow gauged railway to pull targets mounted on small railcars behind high earth banks with only the targets exposed. These earth works are still intact today and some can be seen from the road. Concrete bunkers or pits as they were called were spaced along this tram and used for target storage. The railcars would move from bunker to bunker stopping between to be fired on. There are five target storage bunkers and one concrete engine storage bunker in this system that snakes for over a mile and a half from beginning to end. Engine storage is the first in this system 425 yards west of the cache and less than 50 feet off the south side of the road. ( 31-41.000 / 92-25.598 ) Because it is below ground level it is easily over looked from the road. Number two can be seen from the road and will appear as a mound with earth banks on either side. (31-40.808 / 92-25.700) These are the protecting banks of the rail-way. The structure is on the backside. At this point the system turns southwest and passes number three at (31-40.989 / 92-25.830) before turning back towards the road. This is the only one that the bunker itself can be seen from the road. As the rail-way turns away from the road the old rail bed is visible. Note the earth bank changes from the right side to the left to afford protection to the east. Continue driving west two hundred yards to first small road to the left. Bunker number four (31-40.928 / 92-26.000) is some three hundred yards south. Benchmark” Selma 1934” and its offset are also at these coordinates. The fifth and final bunker (31-40.662 / 92-26.033) is another six hundred yards south.
Remember, Kisatchie Forest rules apply. Again we will be offering up our coveted F-T-F Sweat Rag Award. Fatman and Robin also remind you that the greatest danger is the forest itself. If it crawls, walks, runs, flies, bites, poisons, stings, or stinks, it is here. Dress accordingly.
And we thank you for your support.
Congratulations LesTortues!!!
