Enter this area from FM 565. This area was once a neighborhood full of houses. You will walk along the asphalt road that once ran through the neighborhood. You can drive along the road most of the way to GZ but will eventually have to park and walk up to the cache due to a large pile of trash in the middle of the road. A great opportunity to CITO! (Who's getting the toilet? On second thought, maybe we should leave it here just in case...lol)

My mom's grandmother once lived in this neighborhood and she remembers walking along the road on her way to "Langston's" an old store that was at the end of the road on the Loop 207 side. When we were exploring this location for a geocache I was in awe of the site where I decided to place the cache - I can only imagine the stories it would tell if it could talk!

Cache is an ammo box donated to me by Baytown Bert. He received it from USMorrows (a Texas geocaching legend) and was gracious enough to share! Thanks, BB! Original contents include log, pen and lots of goodies! FTF has first pick!
