This current cache is placed as a special attraction for "Celebration with colwell123;GC76ADC" and to bring back some memories of the good old days. A Thank You to Reviewer Smith for his volunteer work to help me get this cache published. The cache has been carved from a 6X6 chunk of wood and is a miniature version of the original Whistle Stop cache.


This is the original "Whistle Stop":


Current miniature "Whistle Stop":


The true definition of "Whistle Stop" derives from the practice of a small, only occasionally used railway station of signaling a train by steam whistle so the engineer will know to stop to pick up a passenger.
