On clear, beautiful nights we find ourselves coming to this very spot to relax and do a little star gazing. Not to mention this is our favorite road to travel on. We figured since there were not any placed here, we could bring other people to this location. From this spot, you are able to see thousands of stars, and can enjoy watching meteor showers. We have brought a few friends out this way, and they have loved it. It's a wonderful place to escape everything else for a short while.
This cache is also being placed in memory of a father, a husband, and a best friend that we lost on September 15th, 2002. This is the halfway point on 1863 between San Antonio and New Braunfels (his hometown).
If you are coming at night please take the time to glance up and remember those you miss. Whether they have passed on, live in another state/country, or they are waiting for you to return home a couple of miles away. Of course you could also do this during the day! In the Logbook, we would love if you could write a story about the person you are thinking about as well!
Original contents: Logbook/info, a homemade fishing bracelet (made from barrel swivels), Pongo TB, a micro cache container, glow in the dark stick on stars (1 original; 1 multicolored), Field Guide: Night Sky book, 2 small rock climbing clips, 3 glitter bracelets, a toy frog, and a Kerrville Folk Festival pin. There is also a magnetic LED light that needs to stay inside the cache itself.
The homemade bracelet was made in memory of the one we lost. He was a very avid fisherman! AhoyCharlie decided to make these, and has been wearing one ever since. If it is too lose, just take one link off. If too tight, we will be happy to extend it for the FTF.
For parking: Pull off onto gravel area by 1863 sign; facing West.
Congrats to Ladyhawke/jnapoli_13 for the FTF!!!
Very important: Please keep it hidden the best you can, and not in the open please. Also, the owner of the land wants to make sure no one trespasses past the fence, and they just keep to the roadside. Please be respectful of their wishes!
