In the late 1890s my 2nd Great Grandfather had a heart attack and
passed away at the young age of 33, leaving behind a wife and 5
children. His descendants created a small monument at the place
where he died. I wanted to put a cache here to share that monument
with others.
James Franklin Prince and his wife, Sarah Elizabeth Redd were born
and lived their entire lives in the small town of New Harmony,
Utah. Many of their descendants have done the same. My parents live
in this town, and I visit here regularly. So far, Baad Data has
been the only one to leave any caches in New Harmony. I’ve enjoyed
her caches so this is also a chance to give her a good cache close
to home.
There are several ways to get to this cache. We started on the road
where Bottom’s Up is at, and headed up the hill from there. At
first glance, the sign next to the gate seems to say that going
through the gate is trespassing, but a close look shows the gate
leads into a National Forest, and the No Trespassing sign applies
to the property to the south, make sure to close the gate. This is
definitely a rough road, and a passenger car WILL NOT suffice. I
used a Jeep, and saw some dirt bikers and ATVs up here as well. You
probably should think twice before tackling this if it's been
raining as the mud can be quite treacherous. There are come really
nice views of the New Harmony valley on the way up here, so make
sure to enjoy the scenery.
This is a three stage cache. The first stage is about a third of a
mile from the monument. The second stage is near the monument, but
not on it, and the third stage is the cache and is within a few
hundred feet of the monument. The cache is a large (2 Gallon)
plastic container with various goodies.
