Young's Point: Beet Children Traditional Cache

I picked my name because I wanted to explain how sugar beets were very important in Park City and at Young’s Point. Park City grew a ton of them.  There was a beet dump at Young’s Point for the beets if they froze.

A shiny dime lay on the bottom of a cache.  The duct tape is a camouflaged duck tape.

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.
