Geocache Description:

Signs of Life are found all around this area. A neat place to check out.

This cache was placed because as I was studying a satellite view of the area, I noticed a neat place where you could see the roads coming in and out of this location. It was really cool to see where the buildings were and where the roads intersect. There is all sorts of signs that this was once a working community. The cache location has a fire plug, or hydrant as some call it, surrounded by wooden posts. It was as if they didn't want anyone driving over it.

The cache is in a small container that holds a pen and a log book. Small trinkets will fit in here but not much else.

Please make sure you snap the lid back on tightly. Hide as you found it.

Parking can be found at N38 41.016 - W090 44.012

Follow the road down the hill and climb the other side. The cache is about 3 miles round trip. Mostly level except the beginning and the end.

If you haven't done Happykraut's Another Tank, This would be a good time to do it. You can bushwhack from this cache right to it and save some mileage. Another Tank is GCMNYK.
