From the time when kids had to walk uphill both way to school. There was dozens of country schools across the county ensuring that no  kid had to walk more than 3 miles
The Yuma County School project set out to locate and mark as many of these schools as possible  Anyone wanting more information can stop into the Wray Museum

The first school in the Yuma County seems to have been in this area    The first school was held by Nancy Taylor in a dug out just a short distance to the south west
In 1897 the area residents voted to form an actual school district that eventually became District 11 Union Ridge which ran until 1946 when it consolidated with Laird

I say it all the time. This is why I love this game. Thank you so much for placing this cache. I love the history!

FTF..... with a pen at least.
Pic attached. thanks!

I am currently on an undetermined length cross country road trip. 4800 miles and counting. My wife and I left Maryland in our Campervan, heading to Cheyenne Wyoming for the rodeo. From there we are heading into Colorado for a while to do some climbing, rafting, relaxing, and take photos. Once she heads home on an airplane from Denver, I will be wandering the country aimlessly, living in my camPERVan. My goals will be to finish the continental portions of the Cache Across America series. I have 5 of those left. I will also be following a trail of really old and really fun geocaches. I will also be looking for dark skies to take pictures of the Milky Way, and stopping for everything that interests me. Through the planning process this appears to take me to some of the most amazing places our country has to offer.
I don’t know how or why, but I am lucky enough to be able to travel cross country, again. This is another make-a-wish, dream come true situation. If you told 19 year old me I would be traveling freely cross country, in the most unrealistic adventure van imaginable, I would have said…..Yeah, makes sense.

Day 14
Probably not much of a reporting day. Today is the day that Wifey flies home on an airplane from Denver. After that I will head a bit further east, and then work my way all the way back west.
After the Denver airport drop off, which went smooth but very sad, it was time to continue and see what I can get into on my own. I started by going a bit out of my way back east, to grab the Kansas old one. I found a few others in between, but mainly focused on getting from place to place. I have a packed agenda of things I want to do. And I don’t know how long this fairytale is actually going to last.
After the old one, it was time to head north to Western South Dakota for that old one.
My first day driving alone it was through the sweltering heat of Eastern Colorado. I appreciate all the kind folks and farmers that afford me the privilege to eat whenever I feel like it.
I made sure to stop by Carhenge, since it was directly in my route. What a wild place that is. I think my favorite thing about people, is just how crazy they can be.
I continued north, eventually picking a town to sleep for a few hours, near the SD/KS border.
I intend to be out and moving tomorrow before the sun, so that I can watch it come up, in all it’s glory. WOW is tomorrow an unrealistic day!
Hopefully something above explains how and why I visited this geocache. If not, then I am probably just lying, like I love to do. Thanks for hiding and maintaining this geocache, and adding ever more fun and excitement to my day playing outside!
If you look at the hint before you look for a container, are you even geocaching?
That’s the whole truth. I know it’s true. I made it up myself. And I impart it to you.
