BlueRajah: I am archiving this cache to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. Please notice that I asked you some time ago to check this cache, and no action was taken. I had hoped that the cache may be replaced, or a note placed that you were going to go check on this cache in the near future.

If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the next three months please contact me, and assuming it meets the guidelines, I will be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

The coords have changed for this cache. The original cache was stolen and I replaced it as of February 1, 2003. The cache is larger than a micro but smaller than an ammo box so bring something small to trade.

This is the site of the Spanish Fork sugar beet plant that was constructed around 1901. It was one of 4 satellite factories built to supply sugar beet juice to the main plant in Lehi, UT. This was the only such system in America at the time.

Built at a cost of about $150,000.00 each one of these satellite plants sliced the beets, produced the juice and pumped it through a 5 inch pipeline to the parent factory. This Spanish Fork plant was connected with Lehi by a 22 mile pipe, the longest beet pipeline in the world.

Each factory had the capacity to process 350 tons of beets per day. Beets from as far north as the Bear River Valley and from as far south as the Sevier River Basin were ultimately transformed into sugar at Lehi.

The current owner now uses this building to crush coke and bag it (No, not cocaine! Baked coal is called coke)

The cache is in a small plastic tube. Please make sure you hide the cache so other non cachers can't spot it!
