Geocache Description:


This cache is placed for MiGO Winter Social GCAV1E6.  Y'all come join the fun!


Some could say that the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 spelled the beginning of the end of "Wild West".  The railroads made travel faster, cheaper, and safer than stagecoach or wagons.  They allowed the transportation of farming machinery to the West, and produce to eastern markets.  It was one of the first steps in taming the "Wild" out of the West.


You must find the first six caches of "The Legends of the Wild West" series to collect the informaion you will need to find this cache.  Learn about the California Gold Rush, the Pony Express, the Battle of the Alamo, the Oregon Trail, the Battle at Little Bighorn, and the Gunfight at the OK Corral.
