Reviewer Revan: Cache Owner (CO) has not responded, so I am regretfully archiving this cache to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking new cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace this cache sometime in the future (not to exceed 10 days from the date of this entry), just contact me (by e-mail), and assuming it still meets the current Guidelines, I will consider unarchiving this cache.

Please be advised this is not a guarantee that this geocache will be unarchived. Many factors will go into my decision. The most important of which is how you responded to geocachers who tried to communicate with you regarding the problem(s) with this geocache hide and how you communicated with me, the Reviewer Revan.

Geocache Description:


This cache is located at Ringling Lake right outside of the town of Eastland, TX.
This old lake doesn't have much water now, but at one time it was a nice sized lake.
It was originally built for the Ringling Brothers Circus back when they moved the circus around using trains. This was a stopping point for them to re-fill the train engines with water to fuel the steam driven engines.
The train tracks are long gone, but sometimes you can find the remnants of an old bridge trestle and the original dam for the lake was actually the railroad bed, too.
There are some picnic tables and lots of trails for hiking, mountain biking and four-wheeling.
Be very careful, as this is snake country and I highly suggest some kind of bug repellant as there is still water standing in some areas and the "skeeters" here are hungry little buggers.
Ring Around The Lake Cache is nearby, so check it out while you are in the area.
Also, be careful at night because there are rumors that Screaming Sheila still haunts the lake at night....looking for her baby. You know, she was killed when her carriage went off the bridge on the other side of the lake and her and her baby were drowned. Or so the story goes......
Are you brave enough to find out????
