Geocache Description:

Missoula Montana. Very easy.

This is the first in a series of caches that I hope will expose everyone to the rich history of the great state of Montana.

This location is free to the public. You can make a small donation to help support the foundation if you choose. I encourage you to do so as it helps support the development of the historical site.

Please answer these questions and email them to me to count it as a found cache. (Don't post your answers here, even if encrypted!)

  1. What is the name of the place?
  2. What year was it established?
  3. What was the name of the significant native american and his tribe listed on the information sign?
  4. What was this place used for during WW II?
  5. What did that train to your south haul? What industry did it support?
Bonus Question: What river runs next to this place?

[Folks, There used to be a sign where you could get the answers to the questions, it has gone away for now, but you can still get the answers through other means.] Remember this is a virtual cache. so the prize is truely the location. Take some time and walk the place and learn about the richness of these quiet places that don't make it on the national news. Stop and listen to the river that runs through it.

Have fun and keep on caching. ;) There is no loot. Again this is a Virtual Cache. Please keep this in mind. Dont forget to send the answers to the questions, can't log a virtual cache without them.
