Geocache Description:

Tom Sawyer Whitewashing the Fence - TSWtF

A micro cache you must seek from the side street. You cannot reach this cache from the highway. If you park on the side street there is no need to go past any fence.


Mark Twain provides the commentary:

Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush. He surveyed the fence, and all gladness left him and a deep melancholy settled down upon his spirit. Thirty yards of board fence nine feet high. Life to him seemed hollow, and existence but a burden. Sighing, he dipped his brush and passed it along the topmost plank; repeated the operation; did it again; compared the insignificant whitewashed streak with the far-reaching continent of unwhitewashed fence, and sat down on a tree-box discouraged.

I placed a fun little cache here. I really enjoyed the stone gate towers on Windsor Ct on the way in. If you know more about these towers please share.

Good luck finding this cache and happy caching.
