Geocache Description:


A second geocache on the old road to the community of Shepard.

Not a bison tube but not much larger and yes, it is camouflaged - please ensure the cache container and it's camouflage are put back in place at the location you found it. Parking is available off to the side of Shepard Road directly south of this geocache (in the driveway that's never used) and you can remain on public property while seeking out this geocache. Also, GPS signals could be bouncy in this area due to the overhead power line, the trees and bushes as well as the nearby metal building.

A little side note, the oil price drop of 2014-2016 has seriously impacted the businesses along Shepard Road with the exception of the concrete complex - most of these manufacturing plants have seen 95% of their staff laid off with one of them going from 1200 welders/fabricators down to 8, over 99% of that plant's people gone. These layoffs went pretty much untold by the media because they were out of the limelight (downtown core) and probably no downtown office has been decimated on the same level that these plants have been - all personnel cuts were pretty much done by the spring of 2015.. As a result, Shepard Road has become a bit of a ghost town's main street in some ways with barely a sniff of the hustle and bustle that so recently existed along this road.
