#6 in a series of fact-filled caches filled with facts!
This was the site of the Johnson Farmhouse, so-named because it was a farm house and it was owned by the Johnson family.
The Johnson Farmhouse. Not shown: a warning sign that reads "trespassers will be berated"
In 1961, the American public was still drunk with pride on the accomplishment of making Alan Shepard puke in orbit. They embarked on a bold plan to cover the entire United States with a network of roads allowing a minimum of interaction with the locals. Thus, the Interstate System was born.
Here the problem began for the Johnson family.
The Johnson family was embroiled in a long-standing and locally famous feud with the Johnson family, an unrelated nearby clan with an unfortunately similar name.
Nobody knows how the feud started, but the bitter cycle of tribution and retribution culminated in the Johnson family convincing the Federal Interstate Commission to divert a freeway to pass near their gas station and diner.
This forced the Johnson family to deal with a mountain of freeway almost literally outside their doorstep. In 1963, Harlan Johnson was accidentally killed by a truck while fetching the morning paper.
The homestead has since been razed, leaving only a convenient parking spot for local ruffians to drink and dump old couches.
Some say you can still see the ghost of Old Man Johnson searching for the classifieds in an otherwise lack-luster Johnstown Herald.
You are looking for a well-camo'd, log-only cache containing only a log. That means there's no pens, toys or trackables. So lower your expectations there, cowboy.
Please carefully restore the camo when done!
