Geocache Description:

October 21st, 2006

From Beaumont, TX take Interstate 10 East. Exit #864.
From Louisiana, take Interstate 10 West to exit Exit #869 before FM 1442. If you miss that exit and pass Claiborne Park, take the next exit and find a place to turn around. The feeder road is two way on both sides of the Interstate here.

The Southeast Texas gang finally decided to have a get together. The place is near the coordinates above.
Bring whatever type of food you like to eat. (And enough to share with others).


Mudfrog is going to grill some burgers. (he likes his burgers to still say "Moooooo.")


Everyone is expected to bring their own drinks. No Alcohol allowed in park.

We will start gathering around 11 a.m. until we decided to go home.
I am certain several new caches will be up on the web so we will have plenty of entertainment.
WEST, CLAIBORNE (ca. 1800-1866). Claiborne West, political leader and signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence, was born in Tennessee about 1800. He moved to Louisiana and married Anna Garner in 1824. The Wests came to Texas seven years later. West represented the Liberty District at the Convention of 1832 and served as a member of that body's subcommittee for safety and vigilance for the district of Cow Bayou. In 1835 he served in the Consultation from the Liberty Municipality. Upon the formation of the General Councilv West was selected to represent the Jefferson Municipality. At the Convention of 1836 he signed the declaration of independence from Mexico. During the Runaway Scrape West returned to Southeast Texas, where he furnished provisions to soldiers prior to the battle of San Jacinto. He subsequently enlisted in a company under Benjamin Franklin Hardinq and served from July 1 to October 7, 1836. He was elected by Jefferson County voters to the House of the First Congress of the Republic of Texas in 1836-37. After serving as postmaster for the hamlet of Jefferson, West moved to Montgomery County. His wife died on March 3, 1847; shortly thereafter, West married Mrs. Prudence Kimbell, widow of George C. Kimbell. By 1850 the Wests had moved to Guadalupe County, . After his second wife's death in 1861, West was married for a third time, to Mrs. Florinda McCulloch Day. West was a Mason and the father of nine children by his first marriage. He died on September 10, 1866.
