Geocache Description:

This is number three in a series of historical points within Douglas County Colorado.


This is the location of 20-mile house, or rather, what is left of it.

There are two monuments to the west side of the building that don't belong there. They were originally placed to mark the intersection of two trails. This will be a later Geocache.

I will not say much about 20-Mile House because there is much information at the site.

Pine Grove School was located directly across the street but was destroyed when K-Mart was built. It is now under the parking lot. Parker was called Pine Grove back then. James Parker donated the land for the school about 1875 and supplied it with desks and other necessities and hired a teacher who lived with the Parker family.

To claim this geocache, message or email the two trails mentioned on the two monuments. Also, mention one item of information that you find interesting. Photos are fine.


Thanks Geocaching Colorado for the Geocache of the Month Award, as the second series to win!
