Geocache Description:

Camo covered container, 6 inches long, assorted swag!

This is how it all started.
Encompassing land in ten counties of the Texas Panhandle.
The XIT Ranch was established through exchange of public lands to finance construction of the state capitol.In 1887, it was divided into seven divisons, the largests of which, the Spring Lake pasture division, covered parts of Parmer, Castro, Bailey and Lamb counties. Its northern boundary line, near this site, ran across what is now U.S. Hwy 385. Noted for breeding Hereford cattle, the Spring Lake division also served as an election polling place for citizens in Castro, Bailey, and Lamb counties. (1991)
