Geocache Description:


Industrial Age Artifacts Cache

Jenks Cache #3

While scouting this area of Jenks Land for possible hide locations, I came upon a collection of discarded artifacts from the first two eras of the Industrial Revolution, which are defined respectively by the fuels that powered them: coal and petroleum 

At the coordinates for this cache, you will find a train rail and a dozen or so car tires.

Once you find these artifacts, stop looking at your GPS.  

The cache is hidden within an area less than half the length of the rail from the rail. 

This cache is a bright silver but well-concealed micro.

 Please take note of the position of the cache container before retrieving it and be sure to return the container to it's original hiding location in order to maintain the intended level of concealment. Also, I would appreciate feedback on the condition of my containers. Each one is an experiment to make them more durable, watertight and inconspicuous. Thank you!
