Geocache Description:

The first part is a very interesting and historical location. The final cache is small, but not micro.

The building at this location is a magnificent cement block structure located near the historical district on the southern edge of the village. Built in 1909, the building is 347 feet long and 50 feet wide. Because it is made of concrete block with poured cement floors and ceilings, it is entirely fireproof.

The blocks used in construction were cast at the construction site, and this is believed to be the first block building built in this area. William B. Simpson had the stable built to protect the blood line of his famous stallion whose trotting record was known world wide, thus the title, “Horsing Around”. It is said that the Czar of Russia once sent some of his mares to this village to be bred so that the famous equestrian strain could become part of his stable. It is also rumored that Wayne Newton, of Las Vegas fame, stabled some of his horses here only a few years ago.

By the way, this building is on private property, do not trespass. However, it is very visible from the roadway.

To get to the final cache, add the number one to the first digit of the speed limit WHERE YOU ARE STANDING, and substitute it for Z in the following coords, then add the number two to the same first digit and substitute it for A:

42 11.A04
078 18.Z34

Bring small items to trade. This cache is winter accessible.

Now the question: From what material is the roof of this building made? Do not put answer in your log. Please email me.
