*gln: ARCHIVING ABANDONED CACHE

Greetings,

Looks like our timing is off and It’s time to say goodbye to this cache.

Since I haven't seen any maintenance here in a while, I am going to assume that your priorities have changed and you’ve gone in a different direction.

Archiving due to lack of maintenance is permanent.
CACHE ARCHIVAL IS PERMANENT.

Let me know if I can be of assistance in the future.

Thanks a MILLION for all you have done, Glenn

Geocache Description:

A nice country drive off off the major highway. A Mo conservation river access nearby is a great way to spend a Saturday.
This is a great park and grab.  Please be respectful of area and don't loiter.  Watch the kiddos because the cache is inbetween a road and a railroad.  Please don't leave trash behind.   Watch out for muggle. Container is big enough for trackables and small swag.

3/4 of a mile south of here via the railroad a tragic head-on collision between a gasoline powered passenger train of the Missouri and North Arkansas line and a Kansas City Southern freight train occurred at Tipton Ford in Newton County, Missouri, on the late afternoon of August 5, 1914, and claimed the lives of approximately 50 people. The passenger car burst into flames, and many of the victims were burned beyond recognition. Many of the dead were black residents of Neosho who were on their way home from an Emancipation Day celebration in nearby Joplin., and a few days later the whole Neosho community came together for a public funeral on the courthouse square for both the black and white victims. Some of the victims were buried in a mass grave at the IOOF Cemetery in Neosho, and large memorial stone was later placed there by the community. Please put back where it was to start with. I have contacted the MCD and got permission/permit for this cache. Permit is in cache. Nate Forbes-Forestry District Supervisor 417-451-4158 Ext 222
