Young's Point: Red Hot Rails Traditional Cache

Best to leave this cache for a sunny day, or the gumbo may suck you in! "The brakes are getting slammed.  The rails are screaming along with the people.  Slam!  The train hits the other train.  The smoker car is crushed."

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.
