Geocache Description:

Another in our series. This time, no real "station", but soon, a whole "prairie town" to be built around Engine #19! *** CONGRATULATIONS, sarhound, Mustangcatt and deputyhound on the FTF!!! ***

**NOTE!!! Well, let's see... we started with the mayo jar... it kept appearing on the ground and finally someone placed it where we and everyone else thought it was gone, so we replaced it with a sports jug... it also had a fondness for "jumping" the train and seemingly disappeared.... finally, we put an altoid tin in place and it has stayed!! ONLY THE ALTOID TIN is the official container. If anyone finds any other container, we would appreciate it being removed and the contents disposed of properly (TB moved along, jar/jug tossed, swag donated to another cache, etc). The altoid tin is still there and is not so easy to find (which seems to mean it stays in place!!!). ** Other than that, ENJOY THE HUNT!!! Now, read on for the cache description!** Recently, the city of Frisco decided to refurbish an old steam engine and use it as a focal point for a reproduction of "Old Frisco". The engine has been moved to it's permanent location and repainted. It looks wonderful! The "town" is developing nicely, too! An old log cabin is in place, 2 houses have been moved in to restore, and more appears regularly... looks like this will be a great spot. You will be looking for a camo'd Altoids tin, containing a log. Even though the cache itself is well hidden, you will be in plain sight, from the right view... there might be a muggler problem, please be careful, because we had to wait to place our cache, due to visitors. Have a great time and don't make this your only visit! It should be neat to watch everything develope! Scott and Linda
