I wanted to make a series to highlight places in Upshur County that people pass every day. So I set about to make a little loop from Sago -Tenmile-Queens-Tallmansville-to Buckhannon to let you experience life in Upshur County past and present. Also I noticed there are so few caches that are set up for people and children with disabilities. This cache is perfectly flat right off the paved road. Contains a log only so bring your own pen.
There was a cache here before! GC277WD by BUCKtown'ers2010 the next part is from their original cache............ " A micro cache located in Sago, West Virginia. BYOP An explosion, many believe caused by lightning, trapped thirteen and killed twelve miners on January 2, 2006 after the Sago Mine reopened following a holiday break. More than two hundred family members and friends gathered at the Sago Baptist Church, which served as both a physical and spiritual shelter as they waited to hear about their loved ones. This cache is dedicated to those miners. Named one of the state’s worst mining disasters in West Virginia’s history, Sago paved the road for better safety laws for future coal miners and forced several other coal mining states to re-examine their Mine Safety Laws. Eleven of the twelve miners who lost their lives on January 2, 2006 originally survived the explosion but had perished because of carbon monoxide poisoning due to lack of rescue oxygen." This cache is at their memorial. It is under a piece of coal. Clearly marked official Geocache. It highlights how precious life is and I hope you reflect on that through out the rest of my series. I hope you've enjoyed the little history lesson about Wild and wonderful Uphsur County.
