BlueRajah: There have been no responses to my disabling of your cache, and the threat to delete logs that have not found all four caches. As this his gone on for about four months I am archiving the cache.

Geocache Description:


I have wanted to do this cache for a long time.

There are four in this series and for them to count you need to get all FOUR!! (as of 10-10-10 the entire series is published so no excuses I will delete them if there aren't all four!

They are located so close together that it should be easy to get all four on the same outing.

This is in my general neighborhood and has always been a cool piece of history for me.

Fort Heber (1859-1867)

"In 1858 a group of men came from Provo, surveyed the valley into 20 acre plots and selected the town site of Heber. The following winter twenty families stayed here as protection from the Indians.

"Within the fort area the company of men built their houses close together, with sufficient openings to let their stock in and out. The houses were built with green cottonwood logs that

were cut on the river bottoms. Dirt Floors, dirt roofs and mud packed between the logs were the order of the day."

Quoted from "How Beautiful upon the Mountains" Wasatch Daughters of the Utah Pioneers Copyright 1963, reprinted in 1993. Page 9-10
