Geocache Description:

Should be very easy to find. It is easily assessible.

This virtual cache is my first. I was intrigued by another virtual cache in this county, and this one is directly related to the other. Probably the MOST interesting thing about this site is where it is physically situated. Please don't mention it in your log-- it's more interesting if it's a surprise to others. ;-)

Check out the encrypted info for why this cache was chosen and for more info about this site.

ALSO: The site is surrounded by private property, although it wasn't immediately obvious to me if access to the most interesting part of the site was trespassing. It IS completely abandoned however. ;)
