So grab the family or some friends, turn off the internet & TV, jump in the cachemobile, Get Outdoors and enjoy the nature. Please share some cool pictures, but no spoilers please!
This series is not designed to have any difficult caches in it. It is strictly for my fellow geocachers who want to earn a super cool souvenir for each day in August and to enjoy the Outdoors! Please remember this is south GA and we have wild animals, snakes, spiders, ticks, MOSQUITOES, poison ivy, briars, ants, etc., that might be present at any of these caches. Take the appropriate precautions!
"Baytree Place & Plum Streets - The town of Remerton, named for Remer Young Lane, President of Valdosta's first bank, was established in 1899 to meet the needs of the Strickland Cotton Mills' workers. Remerton was later incorporated as a textile mill town. Initiallly there were three streets with sixty five houses, a school and three churches. (the cache is located near where one of the churches once stood) The mill owned the houses, which rented for $.25 per room. Since the plant closed in 1979, the preserved houses of Historic Mill Village have found new life as quaint shops, restaurants, & boutiques. Through now surrounded by the City of Valdosta, Remerton still has its own government and law enforcement agency." The plant is now being demolished, all except the smoke stack, but not sure what will take its place. If you have heard please make a note in your post.
*** Available parking is within 5 foot of cache container. NO Room for trades. Log ONLY, so BYOP! Please replace exactly as found, for the next cacher to have as much fun as you did. TY!***
Be Safe & Happy Caching!
