The South Platte Forest Reserve was established in 1892 to protect dwindling forests and grasslands in this area. Edwin D. Hepburn began his duties as a forest ranger in 1905. Mr. Hepburn and others used this site, known as Centerville, as a Forest Service ranger station between 1908 and 1910. Here they fought forest fires and apprehended poachers and timber thieves.

This was part of a four-day, seven-state, geocaching/baseball-game-attending/craft-beer-tasting road trip with Alkhalikoi and Rohrerboy to get us all some new cache states and counties.

Nice stop for this cache, on our way to Tarryall. We enjoyed our tour off the interstate. Beautiful country.
