Don't Stop
Don't stop unless you need a quick cache, then by all means do stop. Just be careful where you park. This street is narrow.
Keep a close watch on the kids. This is next to an irrigation ditch with fast flowing water. Use appropriate stealth if muggles are in the area. There is a surprising amount of traffic for a side street. Please take the time to close up the container properly so the next cacher can enjoy it too.
Container is small. There is room for tiny trade items. I put some old coins in to start off. Bring your own scriblin' stick.
The Odd Fellows complex directly to the north has a fascinating history. Badger4007 once had a cache nearby that had a detailed history in the description. Here is part of the description:
At first glance, the majestic Odd Fellows and Rebekahs Home appears as though it could have been constructed as part of a grand southern estate. Built in 1914, the town's business leaders actually approached the IOOF&R and lobbied to have the home built in Caņon City, as they correctly perceived the financial benefits of such an organization and building in the community. Similar to the Union Printers Home in Colorado Springs, the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs Home was built during the time when members were taken care of by their own if they became ill, poor or were suddenly orphaned children of IOOF&R members. In time, admission to the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs Home included non-members.
The stately building cost approximately $50,000 when it was completed. Unlike any other building in town, it's 13,470 square feet housed dormitories for the 154 children raised within it's walls during the years of it operating as an orphanage. With it's 128 windows, 115 doors, library, dining rooms, playroom, sunrooms and kitchen, it could be a maze to navigate for new residents, several of whom still live in the surrounding community. But with the slow arrival of adoption and foster care laws in Colorado, the home began to accept fewer and fewer children, until there were none.
Today, the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs Home serves the elderly [as an assisted living facility] and it continues to be one of Caņon City's treasured buildings with a long proven - and yes, odd - history of doing good by helping others.
