Has-Been Station-2 Traditional Cache
drag&monk48: Well, what can I say. The team of drag&monk48 no longer exists and there are no TB's in here right now so I'm pulling the plug on it. Thanks to all who hunted and shared with the geocahing community.

Off exit 119A traveling I-40 east or exit 119 west. Take a right
if approaching in an easterly direction and a left if by west.
Plenty of parking and low muggle problems.
This is another of what could turn out to be a
series of caches dedicated to Has-Been Stations. They seem to
be everywhere these days, yet un-noticed. I wonder if the gas
prices forced them to close there doors or bad locations?
Perhaps the mega-super-center-style-
food-court-coffee-doughnuts-mountain-of-beer-wall-of-soda-yellow-jackets-20-gas-pumps
we use now with dudes running them that sound and act funny.
I get a feeling of nostalgia when I see one of these older
style gas stations with there Jetsonesque space age awnings,
just having drivers licences and thinking "Man I have 5
dollars to put in the tank...that will last for days"! Or
better yet, one of those older ones where you can see a lot
of plumbing and small islands, grease pits and good old
bricks, Daddy saying "Filler up, and while you're at it,
check the oil"! Pull right up, remember and hunt a cache!
This one is very simple. I've studied this spot for a long
time, actually took notice of it about ten years ago when I
came to work in Hickory. Really wanted to make a challenge
out of it but the place is all fenced in and there was little
to use for a unique hide. So, here is a grab and go right
beside the road with easy access and low muggles. As a matter
of fact, I've seen more than one person wondering around
looking lost and aimless here! The cache is a coffee can I
weezed from work and has a number of handy little items in it
for trading. This cache could also be an excellent Travel Bug
Motel, considering the easy access to I-40. Hope you enjoy it
and as always CITO.
