Geocache Description:


Cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.  (I tried that once 10 years ago and got shot down by the reviewer...)

In railroading, the term "highball" refers to a signal that indicates a train may proceed at full speed. It typically means that the train has received clearance to continue without restrictions, often after stopping at a signal or junction. The term originated from the practice of raising a ball signal high on a pole, which indicated that the track was clear ahead. In a broader context, "highball" can also refer to a type of drink, but in railroading, it specifically relates to the operation and signaling of trains.

 

If you'd like to highball to the cache you've got to get onboard and find your routing!
