Fried Chicken & Coffee: Cache was still there, I don't know how anyone could have missed It. While I was reading the log, the store manager came out and complained about people trashing the place. At his request this cache is archived and I have physically removed the container. Thanks to all that found it, sorry a couple losers ruined it for everyone else

Geocache Description:


A micro cache at another location of historical note in the borough of Tamaqua. The historical marker reads as follows:

THE MURDER OF BENJAMIN YOST

During the early morning hours of July 6, 1875, police officer Benjamin F. Yost was murdered on this corner as he climbed a ladder to extinguish the street lamp. Alleged members of the Molly Maguires were convicted of the murder and were hanged on June 21, 1877.

The street light on the corner here is a replica of the gas lights used at the time. This is currently the site of a business and it is often full of muggles.

Cache was placed with the permission of the manager. Took 5 seperate readings for the coordinates - all had accuracy of 33 feet. Cache only contains a log in a ziploc bag, so bring your own pen/pencil.
