Young's Point: Loren Stewart Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

spoklie: I worked my trail yesterday and discovered several of my bison tubes that I had archived (to come back for later( were gone, so I bit the bullet and picked this one up so it doesn't disappear. Basically all that remains on this trail are camoed film canisters. I did leave the cache at the corner (the "antelope": please do not make me spell the scientific name) because it is a good hide.
You took out another cache that one of my student groups had replaced for an owner. I'm going to go recollect coords and let the group sponsor it as a "reborn" cache. Also, I haven't looked at ZigZag Lake up in the Big Belts but I would suspect it is on the chopping block. I placed a bison tube up there two years ago to replace a ammo can that was too obvious and tempting to muggles. Rhinowolf, the planter, hasn't been on record for several years. Can I use the existing coords and replant without hiking the 12 miles (I can't hike as well or as far as I did in my early sixties) to "rebirth" the cache? I'll have one of my groups maintain it or I will hike there myself if necessary.

Geocache Description:

Loren Stewart was a cowboy coming home to see his mom and relatives.  He was one of our teachers’ great grand uncles.  He was on the train and got killed.

Zach G.


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.
