Geocache Description:

Ladylove asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I said, "Cachin' Road Trip." I decided to head towards the Palouse. It occurred to me that I have always wanted to host an event. Why not in a ghost town? 

Where: In front of the old abandoned church in Elberton, WA

When: March 12, 2016 9:30 AM-10:30 AM

Why: Yours truly got older ,,,


According to Wikipedia, Elberton is a ghost town on the north fork of the Palouse River northeast of Colfax and northwest of Palouse in Whitman County, Washington. It ceased to be a town in 1966; most sources I 've read say that Whitman County Parks owns the land . Ladylove, the geopups and I will be there and I cordially invite you to come as well. Doughnuts, cookies or something like that will be provided.

My guess is that we could easily double or even triple the population for an hour.
