The 15th of a series of caches planned to be hidden at or near the historic rural schoolhouses of Routt County (RCSH - Routt County School Houses). See the first cache of this series (GC6QQ71) for a complete and updated list of the ones currently available - but this list will continue to grow as there were 96 schools which served Routt County neighborhoods from 1883 until 1960 when the rural districts consolidated.
The Clark School District #19 was established in 1891 with the first school being held on the Rufus Clark Ranch. By 1904, it was too small for the population and the Clark community built this log school on what many now refer to as Whitmer Hill. School was held here from 1904 - 1915 at which time a larger building was built "over yonder" (on CR 62). My great-grandfather was actually a teacher in this school for a short period of time.
Don't miss the Colorado Spirit Quest #503 - Clark Cemetery (GC79K5K) cache just up this road from this cache!
DO NOT TRESPASS!! The building is on PRIVATE LAND! The cache is on the road right-of-way and there is absolutely NO reason to cross the fence!
