Geocache Description:


SCC Garden Railroad




The Garden Railroad, located adjacent to the College’s Alumni Amphitheater, is the only operating, small-gauge train garden on a college campus in the nation. The 300-foot, dog-bone-shaped track includes an O-gauge model train, landscaping designed by SCC’s horticulture students, a bridge, waterfall and replicas of prominent Spartanburg businesses and landmarks.

The Garden Railroad began as an idea born from now-retired SCC horticulture department head, Jimmy Painter and horticulture instructors who felt the project would offer SCC horticulture students a learning opportunity to design a unique miniature plantings garden combined with the focal point of a scale-model railroad that would embrace the historical roots of Spartanburg and the Upstate, and allow for the reproduction of local landmarks as the backdrop for the garden.

NO CACHING AFTER DARK. Please be mindful of your surroundings and realize that you are on a school campus. Permission has been granted by the board as long as there is no trouble associated with the cache. Return cache as you found it, and DO NOT CROSS THE TRACKS.

You are looking for a cache that blends in with its surrounding. This is a small cache that holds a log only. BYOP! Beware of the eyes on the other side of the wall, which is why the difficulty is so high. You may get wet retrieving this cache; DO NOT CLIMB UP ON THE ROCKS. If you are caching during business hours, stop by the physical plant building and ask to speak to Henry; I would love to meet fellow cachers.
