mo pirate: Went by to check on this cache and the host is gone. I’m thinking a junker stole it. So I will archive it.

Geocache Description:

Cache is a small container placed at this abandoned railroad remnant. I used to work at this facility for about 23 years of my life. The name makes sense to me as a spoof on the monopoly game's Pennsylvania Railroad property.

This cache is place by the warehouse section of the old factory of Mead Products (MEAD-WESTVACO) or at one time called Wes-Tab which was short for Western Tablet and Stationery Company. School supplies were a monopoly for Mead especially in this geographical area. "Big Chief" Tablets were a staple item along with all of the normal school and office supply products. The name fits both the monopoly board and the schools supplies of pencils. Cache placed with permission of new property owner. Thanks Bill. .
