Geocache Description:

A great view my Dad, Norman Modesett, fell in love with, when he came to stay with us in 2010.  He passed away March of 2014.  He was 85 when he passed away. 

You should expect to stretch your legs and enjoy the view, anytime of day!! Watch for muggles camping nearby and critters that bite! ;)


More about this cache: My dad was an inventor in the motorcycle industry, credited with multiple items, including the spark plug and wrench attachment for motorcycles and the Modesett Eng. & Mfg. Muffler. He raced motorcycles, on and off the streets, as well as having a thriving business as a machinist. He also had a hand in the making of one of the spacecrafts engine parts for NASA in creating a bell-shaped part that was used to thrust the engines upward. I have the prototype at home, hanging outside: he transformed it into a dinner bell!   To get to this cache is opening accessible.  There will be a FTF reward of $2 and a small notebook to log your visit.  Also with this cache is a pencil, a photo album of my Dad, a Memorial Service Flyer of my Dad, some of my Dad's business cards, and a few trinkets to get started, as well as the TB. Enjoy and happy caching!!!!!
