The Soash Ghost Town

Who can resist a geocache next to a ghost town? Well, not us...and as we begin our Texas County Challenge, I have been doing a bit of research and have found MANY geocaches around ghost towns...I will be creating a bookmark list on GC.com over the next few weeks. Feel free to use it as well as keeping up here.

Soash the ghost town is a pretty interesting story. It was really a flash in the pan. The only remains are what is left of the Soash Bank.

The Texas County Challenge

Here is the map of our progress so far!





We have decided to begin the Texas County Challenge. There are 256 counties in Texas and we are making progress! We are not setting a timeline for this challenge (yeah, right, sometime in 2016 I reckon!). There are estimates of approximately 14,000 miles driven to complete the challenge.

If you want to checkout Geocaching or the Texas County Challenge, here is the cache page.
