Geocache Description:

Go to the coordinates and try to figure out what famous Texas movie was shot at this location. Go to: http://www.creativeworlds.com/geocaching to see if you are right. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THE ANSWER IN YOUR LOG (EVEN IF IT’S ENCRYPTED).

UPDATE: Looks like the actual cache got bulldozed recently, but this area is still worth a visit. You'll probably need a few more hints now though. Let see.. movie was made in 1974 and involved a family that wasn't quite normal who liked interesting furniture. Pretty weird that the actual location where this was filmed is now surrounded by apartments and businesses! I wonder if they know?

There is no good parking anywhere around this location since it's been taken over by developers. Parking with the construction vehicles is a good idea since you blend in, otherwise you'll have quite a hike if you park anywhere else. We've posted the coordinates to the closest legal spot you can get to the former movie site. If you choose to be daring (and jump the fence), the actual coordinates for where the main part of the movie was shot are N30°28.758' W097°41.454'. Here are several warnings for this one:

1) This entire area is fenced from all 4 directions, so who knows how illegal it is to proceed beyond the gate, but that is a public road that is gated, so who knows. You'll probably just get chased off. 2) There are a TON of rattlesnakes in this area. At least there used to be. Plus a bunch of scorpions and other nasty things. 3) There are loose cows all over (and even looser poop everywhere). 4) Don't go here after dark, unless you are REALLY brave.

We hope you enjoy the hunt. Go to the Web site afterwards to see if you picked the right movie. If you did, more information will be provided about the movie. We hope you enjoy this virtual movie cache, and will have more soon.
