The second of a series of caches planned to be hidden at or near the historic rural schoolhouses of Routt County - beginning in West Routt!

 

A small pill (vitamin) bottle with a log and some small collectables located at 6999’ above sea level.

Dunckley School #1 -- located just 1/10th  mile northeast of here -- The county road was actually changed in the 1960s -- the old road went up what is now the driveway of Coyote Creek Ranch --.  The school house sat on land owned by George Dunckley in the corner of the county road T.  

According to the book “Windows to Yesterday” (Leslie, 1998), “The first school was probably built around 1889.   It was located near the George Dunckley homestead in the center of the Dunckley community.  This log school was also used for community gatherings and church services.  As the center of the community changes, so did the location of the school.”

This cache MAY be accessible in the winter - but would depend on how deep the snow is -- in the spring, how deep the ditches are!

Made the four caches in the Dunckley series favorites for taking us for a drive in the country for some great scenery. Co FTF with KCSearcher @ 1:08 pm. Day 16 of a 23 day caching trip with KCSearcher (my brother) with the goal of completing the Colorado Delorme Challenge and the county challenge called Mondo's Colorado 64 Challenge. In addition, we picked up the oldest cache in Colorado called Tarryall. Today we drove from Rangely, CO to Craig, CO picking up caches along the way for Delorme grids 12, 13, 14, 15, 22, 25 and 26 and Moffat and Routt counties. TFTH. SL
