Geocache Description:


The town of Woodstock has many would-be stalkers, that is, doppelgangers. 

Woodstock is a town in Bibb and Tuscaloosa counties in Alabama. Formerly known as North Bibb, by referendum in 2000 the town adopted the name of "Woodstock". The population of the town is 1,428. This community was once the center of a thriving railroad business.

Woodstock was first settled in the 1820s, with a formal land grant to William Houston on February 27, 1826. The settlement was established along the old Tuscaloosa to Huntsville stagecoach line. Woodstock got its name when Dr. J.U. Ray named it after the home of his ancestors, Woodstock, England. Ray's ancestors arrived in America from England at Jamestown, Virginia. In 1870, Ray built the first depot for the newly constructed Alabama-Chattanooga Railroad. After the Alabama Great Southern Railroad came the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. After the Civil War, rich iron ore deposits were mined. 

The cache is hidden deep in this wooded area, in a hole in a tall dead tree trunk. You may need a tool of some sort to retrieve the cache, such as a ladder or reach pole.
