Geocache Description:

This is a quick park and grab near the historic marker for the town.  You will need a tool of the trade to retrieve the cache.  While you are at the cache location, be sure to find the answers for the nearby multi cache. 


The historic town of Greenwood was established by a trapper and guide, John Greenwood, who had come to the area years prior to the gold rush.  The mining town that boomed during the gold rush had numerous stores, hotels, saloons, and various venues for entertainment. This place was originally called Long Valley, then Green Valley, then Lewisville (Louisville), and finally Greenwood. The Louisville post office operated from 1851 to 1852, when it was moved and renamed to Greenwood. Lewisville and Louisville were names in honor of Lewis B. Meyer, father of the first child born there.  Today Greenwood has a post office, a hardware store, a couple mechanic shops, and a bunch of history.

I have a goal for 2014 of hiding caches on days when the month and date match.  I hid one cache on 1/1, two caches on 2/2, and three caches on 3/3.  This is one of my eleven November hides.  Its getting late in the year and I have kept my goal so far but it is definitely getting more difficult, especially with my crazy work schedule.  Let me just say, it’s more fun to create a cache page than a homework assignment or exam.
