This cache has been archived.

Tink O'Bell: As promised, this cache was checked on, and has indeed, disappeared with recent construction in the area. As such, I am archiving it. Thank you to all, who visited! Perhaps there will be opportunity to create a new geocache close by, in the near future.

Geocache Description:

Cache is a small container with some fun swag and a cool FTF skull bead, if you wish.  Log is water resistant paper; if it happens to be damp, just give it a wipe and sign your visit.  BYOP.  Plenty of parking and wheelchair accessible. 


Once a main attraction at Road Forks - the restaurant!  It closed its doors permanently in about 2010.

Road Forks was once a small, bustling community where truckers would fuel up, rest, have tires repaired, eat a good hot meal.  People lived here, in houses and trailers.  The last resident left in late 2016 and now this is a ghost town.  Huge signs that once lit up the night skies to alert people that food, snacks and rest stops were available, are still evident.  The occasional long haul trucker still stops in the area for a bit of shut-eye before moving along. 

The cache is small and should be a relatively easy find.  Please replace it just as you found it.  BYOP.  A note of caution - as a recent ghost town, this area in general, has quite a bit of litter strewn about. 

Be safe, have fun, and happy caching!

Congratulations to cyclegreen for your FTF!
