Geocache Description:

This town is almost a hundred years gone, but every town has its skeletons. Come find this one.  FTF gets a TB.  Also included is a paracord survival bracelet. 


Come visit the Melmont Ghost Town.  This coal town was founded in 1900, and the last resident was in 1920.  Ultimately a fire destroyed what was left.  All that is left in the area are parts of a bridge, part of a storage building and the foundation of the schoolhouse.  Start out descending the bridge trail down to the old road, be careful, it can get steep(had a 7, 8, and 10 year old with me the did fine)  Continue SE.  Soon you will see the remains of a bridge tressel on the right hand side.  Next you will see the husk of a storage building on your left.  Keep on trekking.  Eventually you will come to a Y, take a right .  There will be a clearing on your right.  This is where Melmont used to be.  Explore the area and find a cache too.
