ADDITIONAL NOTE ON 10/4/2022
Went to check out this cache when I saw 3 of 4 recent DNFs. While the cache WAS indeed there, it was pretty overgrown, so the hint was not visible, and it would have been very difficult to find the cache.
I’ve cut down the weeds, but they’ll probably grow again.
I’m adding 2 photos in the gallery to help with the location and the hint.
Have fun.
Oh, and by the way, the following is an interesting description of Old Moneta.
WHAT IS THIS PLACE?
First of all, the Moneta Produce and the neighboring building, now abandoned and crumbling, were used as the general store in the 1991 movie "What About Bob?".
Known as Old Moneta, it was once a thriving community.
“Old Moneta was divided in two once the road was closed where the railroad tracks …run through town. This division caused many businesses to fail.”
Rt. 122 was originally a gravel road. “There was no electricity, no phones and no television.” The high school class of 1941 graduated 19 students. The farms surrounding the village grew tobacco. Several factories opened up during World War II.
On the “other side of the tracks” is a building used as a welding shop. It was built in 1948 and was a car dealership for 25 years.
Dr. Sam Rucker Jr. carried on the practice of his father and made house calls. “He had no waiting room and patients waited in their cars for their turns. Calvin Woodford, a lifelong village resident, said they were on sort of an honor system to see who went next.”
“The area was so rural, a single traveling preacher put several affiliated churches on a monthly rotation,” visiting each church twice a month.
In it’s heyday, daily passenger trains ran through the town. When Smith Mountain Lake began to grow in popularity, cars would line the main street as the trains came through and held up traffic. People began to annoyed and frustrated.
By the 1990s, 21,000 vehicles passed along this route over a 72 hour period. A traffic study was conducted to prove that a bypass was needed. And in 1998, Rt. 122 was rerouted.
While some people didn’t like the change, it was accepted. “But the move to close the train crossing was unexpected….” It turned “…the road into a dead end on both sides of the tracks and eventually…” doomed most of the businesses there.
