Geocache Description:

This cache is located up Roney's Point road. Near county farm road. You can park on the side of the road within 20 feet from the cache. available 24-7, It is a small DAP container wraped in duct tape. Difficulty is listed as 3 stars due to weak GPS signal up the run.

it has been heavly camouflaged please be sure lid is on tight when you leave. The cords should be close but it is a narrow steep run. GPS was within 63 feet accurate the clue will help!!! Contents when placed:
Christmas tree and bulb, matches, space shuttle pin, crayons and a penny for your thoughts.

Roney's Point was somewhat of a gathering place for college and high school students. before they cracked down on trespassers. The TB center was also used as a state insane asylum. The structure was being used up until around 1976, when half of the center burned down. People have reported strange occurrences inside the building. also located near by is orr cemetery where some TB victims and the orr family were buried

EDITED 12/11/2006 Here is a bit more of the background history on. The Roney's Point Aslyum. I have been trying to figure out a way to place a cache in this area while tying in the history of the grounds on up the road. This is a fascinating area. LOTS and LOTS of local history here. Too bad it is now owned by the county and it is all a "No Tresspassing" zone. I spent several hours snooping around here, years ago, back before you weren't allowed. This was once the county poor farm, and before that it belonged to one of the local brewerys."


DO NOT GO UP THE DEAD END ROAD THERE IS NO REASON TO.
DO NOT GO TO THE ACTUAL ASLYUM A COUNTY SHERIFF LIVES NEAR BY THERE AND YOU WILL BE TOLD TO LEAVE!!

I have finally found some pictures worth posting
