Along the highway find the pullout for parking. Semis use the road.
No need to go over the fence. Strange coin for first to find.

When you find this cache, you are standing where the Joycoy Settlement 1919-1922 stood. Look SW and you may see some of the foundation ruins. Joycoy had a general store, blacksmith, grocery store, filling station and garage, and a school. Church was held in the schoolhouse. Can you picture it? Joycoy relocated 3 miles east in the new town of Pritchett when the Sante Fe railroad came in in 1926-7. This land is now pastureland managed by the US Forest Service and is called the Joycoy Allotment.

Found this cache along the way down to Geowoodstock. Started the trip off with a 13-county loop around Colorado to try and get some of the counties that I am not normally near or might get to again. After that it was a nice trip of 5 States in one day as I travel further to Fort Worth, Texas. Tons of awesome caches preselected for counties, virtuals, earthcache or the age of the cache. Some got picked because they looked interesting as I drove through the area. So many good stops along the way took a 11-hour drive into a three-day drive. All the corners of the states along the way are great places to stop as well. I met other cachers along the way and ran into some headed the same direction. At a couple points I met up with a couple police officers and got to chat with them about geocaching. Another great reason to keep some printouts of what geocaching is in your car with you at all times. Thank you to all of the cache owners for keeping these active for all of us to find on our travels. I usually put jokes in all of my logs, but these logs are already going on long enough and honestly after 7 days of solo caching and the extreme cache hunting going on in Texas, I’m tired of caching! Now on to the hard part, documenting everything I saw and did while on this trip. So many photo and caches, it’s been an amazing trip. Again, thank you to all the CO’s and other cachers I met this past week!

I was out here about midnight,.. Oh my goodness, the sky looked so amazing here. After finding the cache I took a few minutes to just sit and watch the sky. With no city lights to blot out sky or any clouds, you can see so much up in our night sky. Thanks so much for bringing me out here!

TFTC. it was definitely unique but not giving it a "fav" as it scared me when it popped out of the tube. SL & placed back where I found it.
