Whatever the reason, we think it is a great place to park the geomobile and stretch those legs.
I think we have a winner to the answer of my question. Thanks cds! “This is the old road alignment. I suspect that it didn't meet highway curve radius standards when they upgraded the road. 8 of 26 today. TFTC!”

After receiving morningmom's note on 2/2/2020, we were finally able to stop by to check out the carnage. Apparently the County is in Spring bushwhacker mode because they tore up this place. Not much left of the tiny wooded area except for a large tree or two and a lot of downed branches. I don't know how it happened but even with all the tree trimming the cache was still in it's bed off the ground and safe and sound. Since there was a lot of brush pushed up against it, I went ahead and moved the container to an easier place to make the grab. I'll stop by again in the near future to check on it and go from there.
