Geocache Description:

This geocache is named after the crash that happened at Young’s Point.  The crash was between the trains.  This was an important point in history for Park City.  The name of this geocache is how many people died.  Emily A.


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.
