Geocache Description:

A micro cache cleverly hidden, located at the historic Mt Princeton Schoolhouse at the intersection of County Road 321 and 326 southwest of Buena Vista. Bring a writing utensil and maybe some tweezers. No other tools are required.

This cache is located at the Mt. Princeton Schoolhouse AKA Maxwell Creek School. The Mt. Princeton School was in use from 1889 until 1933. One story that is told takes place on Christmas Eve 1902. That evening there was a Christmas party that was taking place, when a big snow storm came. As the local families arrived at the school house with treats and gifts, the snow got worse creating snow drifts 3-4ft and zero visibility. They decided it best to stay the night in the school, where the teacher Miss Thompson read the story "A Visit From St. Nicholas" by kerosene lamp. Everytime I pass by this building I often think of this story and what life must have been like then. Bring a writing tool and tweezers. Happy Caching!

Congrats Hartsdale FTF!
