WheresGeorge, a roll of 2005 buffalo nickles, two Mcdonalds teenie
Beenies and of course a log book and a pen. If your not FTF, a vist

There may be construction activity about during the weekdays,
but even so, it shouldn't be a problem. Use your best judgement on
parking. ( I just pulled off on the side of the road)
Need an idea for a good swag item for this cache??? How about a
free admission or two to the museum. :>)
As always, feel free to e-mail me for help. All answers should
be easily found on the internet or a trip to your local library. A
good website is the Texas Historical Comission to start with.
Cache is about 40' off a (currently) mowed clearing.
Difficulty depends which way you enter property. The simplest way
is to leave the pavement when your pointer is directing you
NORTHWEST. If you leave the pavement heading Southwest, you might
be in for an adventure.
Have fun and most important, learn some history!!
