Another Dam Geocache Traditional Cache
Geeohcrash and Snoopy: Due to repeated vandalism of the cache using the "hide in plain view" technique, we are archiving this cache. The cache has been relocated and hidden in a more standard manner which hopefully will be less susceptible to loss. The new cache, "Another Dam Geocache II" is open for those who had previously found the original.

You may wish to do this one in conjunction with Reuben's Place. One-stop geocaching, so to speak.
On this spot in 1890 Andrew Jackson Mundy and his son, Erasmus, built Mundy's mill. Four generations of Mundys owned and operated the mill, which was still in operation in 1965. People came here to have their corn and other grains ground. This was also a popular community gathering spot serving as a place for dating, getting engaged, fishing, picnics,family reunions, weddings, and just getting together with friends. Churches used the stream for baptisms, revivals, and funerals. The photo is from the high school's website, and was given to the school by the Mundy family. It shows the mill prior to the fire that destroyed it in the 1980's. A scene from "Smokey and the Bandit" was filmed on this spot. A scene was also filmed on the road that passes in front of the mill site.
This is a small cache which blends in well with its environment.There is room for small trade items. Except for wait-a-minute vines, hungry car predators (deer), uneven terrain, reported sightings of a serpent, vicious geese, one very angry wasp, and a sparse crop of Rhus radicans, hazards are minimal.
Congratulations to Maviman for the FTF!
