Geocache Description:

Cache and dash!

Camo pill bottle near highway pull off.

Stout is a former town that was established in the 1880s as a camp for workers at the nearby stone quarries in the area. The Union Pacific Railroad invested in quarrying operation in the valley around the town, and at one time built a spur of their rail line from Fort Collins up to the town in to transport stone for its own use. The town was abandoned in 1949 to make way for the inundation of the valley by Horsetooth Reservoir as part of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project. Some of the former town site is located under the southern end of the reservoir and can be seen by scuba diving.
