Geocache Description:

On a grassy ridge in the middle of Texas.

If you are riding across country on your favorite horse, about half way between St Jo, Texas, and Nacona, you will top a beautiful ridge, clear view in all directions. It is a marvelous view, green pastures, cattle grazing near by...

At this spot, you will find a cedar tree, the only one near by. The tree is growing out of an oblong area of rocks, a very restful place.There is a name carved into one of the rocks....

E-mail me with that name, and the year also.

See if you can find the earliest recorded marker. Xanthippa Rountree. 1875.

Believe me, this is a very pleasant spot, and worth the short drive. Watch for wildlife all along the route.If you happen to be in the area with a mountain bike, so much the better.

The cache is in a gap in the rocks...NOT IN THE TREE... Please don't disturb the serenity and beauty of the location, or damage the tree. Sign the log book, and carefully replace it in the crack.
