Geocache Description:

Located on land homesteaded in 1821 by immigrants from Yorkshire, England, the cache is just a few steps from a gravel road.

The cache is a tupperware-style plastic container about the size of an ice cream carton containing a log book and information about the homestead. We have permission from the present owners to go on private property to retrieve the cache.

In the cache, there's a description of the history of the homestead and the buildings you can see from the cache. You're welcome to take a copy with you.

The road is a dead end, so you'll need to turn around and head back to the "hard road" after you've located the cache.

U.S. Route 67 is a 1,560 mile (2,511 km) long north-south U.S. highway in the Midwestern United States. The southern terminus of the route is at the United States-Mexico border in Presidio, Texas, where it continues south as Mexican Federal Highway 16 upon crossing the Rio Grande. The northern terminus is at U.S. Route 52 in Sabula, Iowa.
US 67 crosses the Mississippi River twice along its routing. The first crossing is at West Alton, Missouri, where US 67 utilizes the Clark Bridge to reach Alton, Illinois. 240 miles to the north, US 67 crosses the river again at the Rock Island Centennial Bridge between Rock Island, Illinois, and Davenport, Iowa. Additionally, the route crosses the Missouri River via the Lewis Bridge a few miles southwest of the Clark Bridge.
