Geocache Description:



This cache is located on the perimeter of the grounds. No need for fence jumping here! Searching for a magnetic key holder.


This special place for the Schowalter Family has quite a history. The Schowalter history can also be reviewed at the Jackson Historical Society. According to a family member we spoke to, the Schowalter's owned quite a lot of property here many years ago. The original farmstead was across the street and now the family lives in the house on the north side of the road to the west of the cache location. He told us he believes that the current house is haunted by numerous ghosts. According to him, family members have heard small children playing in the basement of the house which used to be where the original barn was. You can see two children's names on the rock at the front of the cache location. Are these the spirits of the children playing in the basement of the house? He also states that numerous times, he has felt like he has been pushed down the stairs of the house by an unhappy ghost! When you find the cache, look straight ahead and count the trees. There is one for every person there including the "ONE UNKNOWN MAN" as listed on the memorial rock/plaque at the front. The family would love to find out the identity of the unknown man, but have not yet been able to do so.
