Geocache Description:

This is a park and grab cache located at the edge of the road.  It is near private property with several old buildings including the Ranch Road School House.  The owner requests that you limit your viewing to the road.


When people arrived in the early 1930’s they sometimes had a need for ‘Government Relief’. It started at $20 a month, then was reduced to $15 and them $12.

This all had to be worked off, generally for 50 cents a day. The men cut brush to put a road through to Chisholm. Another story that I believe is related is Cecile Willis stirring railway ties in boiling creosote. I just can’t see how this would be called relief.
