BQDC # 14, Flying Geese Traditional Geocache

PLEASE PULL OFF ON THE SIDE ROAD TO RETRIEVE THIS CACHE AND VIEW THE QUILT.  The traffic can be heavy on Hwy 42.  Cache may not be winter friendly depending on snow depth.

The quilt is north of the cache and depending on what crop is planted you may need to do a drive-by viewing on Hwy 42.

This barn was built in 1914 and was initially used as a dairy barn until about 2000.

This cache will bring you to a viewing location for one of the Barn Quilts of Door County.  The quilt is one of 45 placed in Door County between 2010-2012 as a joint project of the UW-Extension, 4-H members and leaders, FFA members and alumni, local quilt guild members and other volunteers.
The goals of the Door County Barn Quilt Project are:
• Promote the agricultural heritage of Door Co.
• Provide education about the art and history of quilting
• Highlight the architecture and historical significance of barns throughout Door Co.
• Encourage economic development by promoting rural tourism
• Build an adult-youth partnership through the implementation of the project

More information on the project can be seen at https://www.facebook.com/BarnQuiltsOfDoorCounty

Please tread lightly as you search out the caches.  CITO and BYOP.  Feel free to post pictures of the barn quilts, but please don’t give away the cache location or container.
Happy Caching!
