Geocache Description:

Can't be accessed from the Interstate but can be easly accessed from the proper road!

Years ago, Warren Park Farm, was located in this area. It was the home of 1889 world record trotter Axtell & his offspring, Hall of Famer Axworthy. Here's a picture of the "Farm House".

Just across Highway 63 (now tie plant property) Ellen Church (Marshall), the very first ever flight attendent & founder of Sky Girls, lost her life shortly after being thrown from her horse in 1965. Church was also very instrumental in the growth of Union Hospital. She was a nursing director at Union Hospital and later a hospital administrator, & United Airlines contributed $25,000 in her memory.She was buried at Highland Lawn Cemetery here in town.

Okay..that's the history. This is my first attempt at hiding a cache, so go easy on me. It's a short drive around the block for I-70 & US41 travelers. With it's size & location, it makes a great travel bug rest stop. It's a camo'ed plastic bread holder in a fairly busy area of town. It's full of NASCAR related stuff with a trinket or two for the first finders. I've started it out with a White Jeep TB along with another TB. Contains.. Flashlight Several 1/64 scale NASCAR cars #17 Figures #24 Beads Spare batteries Miniature hauler And other misc. stuff
