Norry Tourist Cache #2 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

All NTC's have Official Northumberland County Geocache labels.(hides were suggested and approved by Northumberland director of Tourism) Please hide them exactly as you found them.
16 tons and what do you get......

If you Found NTC #1 then you know he was a coal miner. This is a coal car that a miner would load. If you know the song, then you know that the life of a coal miner was hard and dangerous. They paid you in "script" instead of cash, which you could only spend at the company store, and you lived in company-owned housing, which they charged you rent for. The hours were long and the pay low, which generally meant that you were an employee for life, along with your kids. Women raised vegitables in gardens that were of poor quality due to the soil. Most worker houses were built on the Slag piles. Visit the Weblink to learn more about coal mining in PA.

Knoebels Amusement Park has the Anthracite Museum, which houses a large collection of mining tools and other artifacts.
Please HIDE EXACTLY as you found it.

We (the Fritzi_42 family) were thrilled at the chance to adopt this cache when retphoto announced he was moving. This neighborhood is very special to us and we'll be sure to take good care of it.

Since this was muggled we changed the location slightly, though old coords are still good. Cache is same size, but a different shape.
