Geocache Description:


You MAY need a TOTT for this one -- Be sure and download the cache info before you go as cell service is spotty in this area!

The 35th 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 Long Gulch District #22 was established in 1913 and was originally called Lower Deep Creek being created from the Deep Creek District #7.  The site where the school was built was donated to the district for a dollar.   The white frame building was built in 1913 and classes were held here until 1946.    The building was used as a dairy barn for several years but has since been restored and is a home about 1/4 mile EAST of this cache site.
