Geocache Description:


In 1881, Judge Aaron Bartlett built and opened the store with the help of his brother-in-law, John Watson.  It was originally called The Watson and Bartlett Store. In 1925, Newt Sanford became the manager and continued in that role until 1992.

The Lost Mountain Store was purchased and restored by United Bank.  Your two-step multi starts here.

Read the two historical markers and take a look at the gas tanks. I looked at the tanks with my back to the bank, facing Dallas Highway. Also, you might be interested to look at GCMDTJ which used to be at this location.

Your geocache can be found at N 33 56.ABC  and  W 084 42.DBC where

A = last digit of the year that Polk marched

B = day that Polk's Corps shifted eastward

C = second digit of the number of gallons on regular tank

D = third digit of the year of event of Service Above Self

The geocache is nearby.  Leave your car and amble over to locate it!
