Samary Food Products was the name of the fruit canning factory that was at one time located in the large building near this cache. My Grandpa's parents were the owners, which is where the name of the factory as well as the name of the drive you come in on came from. Sam and Mary Pfahler were their official names, and Samary is just a combining of their names. I don't recall what year the factory shut down, but as long as I can remember we always just called the building "The Storage". My grandpa was a gym teacher and loved to work out, so when I was a kid, he built a gym inside The Storage that had everything: racquetball courts, basketball hoops, weight lifting equipment, treadmills, all kinds of stuff. Eventually after he passed away, Grandma didn't want to be a landlord by renting it out, so she sold the building to another fellow who lives locally who subsequently added different stalls and rents it out as storage units. We ourselves used it at one time in fact when we put our new house in. We lived at Grandma's for 4 months and stored our stuff in the old factory building while the house was being completed. Samary Food Products canned a variety of fruits and possibly even some vegetables in this old building. This cache is placed to highlight that bit of local history.
Should also mention a shout out here to Gaviidae. The container used for this cache was found by me in another cache titled Crockery Shores (See GC6TBGC) placed by Cachin' Kidlets, and was left in that cache in Grose Park by Gaviidae, so after much debate on what to do with it and having several ideas bouncing around inside the ol' noggin, I decided to put it here for this one.
One note: it may seem like this is trespassing, but it is not. The drive here is officially recognized by the city of Coopersville as a City street, called Samary Lane, and it is a public road. Feel free here to cache at your leisure. The nearby concrete pad is where the local trash service comes to pick up the garbage on Friday mornings, but you won't be parking too close to that, nor will you be parking so close to either the old factory building or the nearby house as to arouse suspicion. The cache placement is not that hard, and shouldn't take much time at all. If you have any questions at all, feel free to contact me. Enjoy!
