Shackleton
Shackleton was a Flag Stop located on Geo. Shackleton's land. Flag Stops were designated locations were passengers could flag down the interurban. Flag stops are sort of like bus stops for the interurban. Generally at Flag stops there was either an Outhouse sized shack or a small wooden pavilion. Here is a picture of your typical flag stop: LINK If no one was there to flag the cars down they would pass by the stop.

The flag stop was located very near the sign that this cache is hidden on.
Cache is a micro "Cap-Cap" Container.
