Young's Point: Unknown Hero Traditional Cache

An unknown or unnamed hero was on the Burlington Northern #16.  He made sure that the train would not catch on fire.  Sadly, they know that he died on the train.  The thing that makes him a hero is he caused less deaths to happen on that train.  So remember that even an ordinary person can save hundreds of lives.  Savanna F.

One of the objectives of our geocaching unit in fifth grade is to acquaint students with local history they may not have had an opportunity to hear or read about.  Taken from James O. Southworth’s The Road Taken, the students learned of the most disastrous train wreck in Montana history,  the 1908 wreck at Young’s Point, 4 1/2 miles west of Park City,  The students selected the name of their cache and wrote an on-line introduction for it (see above), keeping in mind that  they needed to take seriously their role in promoting local history.
