Geocache Description:

WCHGT caches were created as the 2016-2017 Leadership Wayne class project. We decided that we wanted to create a fun, educational, and adventurous way for families and friends to connect to the county in which they live. Therefore the 50 caches connected to this trail will give you a glimpse of the PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE of Wayne County.


Some caches are micros, a few can hold a trackable, some are easy finds, and others prove to be quite difficult. All we ask from the Leadership Wayne class is that you enjoy the finds and learn something new about our wonderful county. Upon completion of the entire trail you will be able to collect your GeoCoin at the Wayne County museum after you have recorded your code words on the passport from each of the 50 locations.


The story is that some guy got a little inebriated in the town of Fremont one night, so much so that he couldn't even manage to get up on his horse (or into his car, or onto his bike, depending on who's telling the story) to ride home. So he left her in town and started walking home on, yes, the railroad tracks that run through Fremont. Of course, there has to be a light in the story- this one is the guy's cigarette. Or maybe his lighter. The bottom line is that on these particular tracks it is a red light that appears. For whatever reason, he stuck around on the tracks a tad too long, and they were soon peeling him off the front of the train. But on some nights you can go to the tracks and see a red glow off in the distance, wobbling down the tracks. I got another story that it was some drunk guy on his bike who didn't want to take 117 into Fremont, (nor, apparently, did he want to relinquish his prime spot on the tracks as the train went by), and so he was walking his bike when the train came; the red light is simply whatever light he'd hooked up on the back of his bike. Either way y'all, the guy has supposedly now returned to try and finish his journey.
