This cache has been archived.

Reviewer Revan: Cache Owner (CO) has not responded, so I am regretfully archiving this cache to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking new cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace this cache sometime in the future (not to exceed 10 days from the date of this entry), just contact me (by e-mail), and assuming it still meets the current Guidelines, I will consider unarchiving this cache.

Please be advised this is not a guarantee that this geocache will be unarchived. Many factors will go into my decision. The most important of which is how you responded to geocachers who tried to communicate with you regarding the problem(s) with this geocache hide and how you communicated with me, the Reviewer Revan.

Geocache Description:

great place to stop and relax, grab a picnic with the family, and catch tons of historical info.


This is a family friendly site with a lot of historical value. Be sure to see the Mobley Hotel built in 1916 that was later sold to Conrad Hilton. Conrad Hilton had a dream that began with this single hotel as he had a "dream of Texas wearing a chain of Hilton Hotels". On the grounds are numerous picnic tables, benches, and things to see including: Hiltons first hotel, the old First National Bank clock, a fountain, playground, train cabose and more.

This geocache has been placed toward the back of the area so as to not be interferred by muggles. Park says 9am-9pm however the gate is rarely closed or chained shut. This should be an easy park and grab or relax and take it all in with the family. We placed our first cache ever here and this NANO cache in a place that is easily accessible for anyone but shouldn't be too hard. You can thank KendraD for that. Enjoy and best of luck! congrats to tigerlady68 FTF
