Geocache Description:

* Keychain Swap *
The original contents are a collection of unusual keychains and a plowing travel bug.

The 840-mile Brazos River was both friend and foe to settlers. Here, near the source of Double Mountain Fork, after XIT Ranch was sold to smaller operators about 1912, the river that attracted settlers was found to obstruct wet-weather travel. In 1926, the settlers built a gyp-rock road across the valley and lined the river bed with rock, to make a passable road. They also built a tabernacle for church, elections, and other gatherings. New roads by pass Rocky Ford, yet the community still thrives. (1976)
