This cache was designed to serve 3 purposes and I believe i've accomplished them all. I have rated it a 3 only because of the driving involved. From the 1st to the last leg of the cache my GPSr's trip odometer registered 73.7 miles! None of the sites are harder than a 1.5First and most importantly, it was designed for families with children. All of the cache sites are easy finds in areas suitable for picnicing. The first 2 sites have playgrounds for the children & the 3rd site has an animal park near by.
secondly, I wanted to do something different. I doubt there are any other caches out there requireing the hunter to go to multiple states! :-)
Finally, I wanted to set up a cache that actually had some worth while items for trading.
The listed coordinates are for the 1st leg of this cache, which is a micro cache (white film canister) located in Wakonda State Park near La Grange, Mo. Bring your lunch and a fishing pole. The cache contains only the coordinates to the 2nd leg of the cache.
The second leg of the cache is about 30 miles north, in Keokuk, Iowa, and is located in a river front park. It too is a white film canister containing only the coords for the final cache. I didn't want it to be easily seen so, it's pushed deep into it's hiding spot so, you'll need a stick to get it out. Please place it back as you found it. This is a very neat area I believe you'll truly enjoy your time here!
The 3rd and final cache is about 30 miles south, in Quincy, Illinois, and is located on the Illinois Veterans Home property. God bless our Veterans!! Say hello to a resident while there, it will likely make their day! There are several monuments & various sites to see while here. The kids will love the deer park! Bring a stale loaf of bread or bag of chips to feed the animals. The cache is a clear rubber maid type container with a white lid.
