I have wanted to do this cache for a long time.
There are four in this series and for them to count you need
to get all FOUR!! (as of 10-10-10 the entire series is
published so no excuses I will delete them if there aren't all
four!
They are located so close together that it should be easy to get
all four on the same outing.
This is in my general neighborhood and has always been a cool
piece of history for me.
Fort Heber (1859-1867)
"In 1858 a group of men came from Provo, surveyed the valley
into 20 acre plots and selected the town site of Heber. The
following winter twenty families stayed here as protection from the
Indians.
"Within the fort area the company of men built their houses
close together, with sufficient openings to let their stock in and
out. The houses were built with green cottonwood logs that were cut
on the river bottoms. Dirt Floors, dirt roofs and mud packed
between the logs were the order of the day."
