Geocache Description:

This cache is centered around the entertainment district in Oklahoma City called Bricktown.It is more of a virtual tour than a cache-a sort of following me in my foot steps tour.Park where ever you can but try to get as close to the first set of coordinates as you can.


First a little History:Bricktown began as a military outpost following the Land run of 1889.The army eventally sold the land to individuals and companies who turned the area into a trade center.

Between 1889 and 1904, the Santa FE, RockIsland, Frisco and MK&T railroads laid tracks through Oklahoma City that connected the prairie commuity with the rest of the world.

Early structures were typically one or two stories with arched windows and decorative doorways.The unifying characteristic of all the buliding in the district was the red brick used to buildthem-nence the name Bricktown.

OK,now follow me and I will show you what I saw and how I saw it.
