Geocache Description:

Welcome to Caledonia! Stop and enjoy the little rest stop as you travel through the area. Cache is a small lock and lock container hidden away. 


Welcome back to this little rest area if you have been here before! Seems that someone along the line removed the original cache location so after looking around I decided that this new location allowed me to place a cache that would be hidden but yet accessible in all weather and let me upgrade the size! So, take the time to check out the improvements to the area if you have been here before, and if this is your first time take in the nice area for visitors. 

EarthWalker Sign

Welcome to Caledonia and this little park where you can get out and stretch your legs. Well, my first spot the cache didn't stick!! DOH! Seems magnets don't like aluminum or bronze so around I went until I decided this spot seemed safe. So stop here and stretch your legs and do a little walking of your own like the ones that the signs placed here describe.

Dave and John Kunst walked from Waseca, Minnesota, to New York City and touched the Atlantic Ocean. They then flew across the Atlantic Ocean to Lisbon, Portugal and touched the Atlantic ocean on the other side. Walking across Europe and Asia to Calcutta, India, Dave touched the Indian Ocean. He then flew across the Indian Ocean to Perth, Western Australia and touched the Indian Ocean on the other side. Walking across Australia to Sydney he touched the Pacific Ocean. He then flew across the Pacific Ocean to Los Angeles, California, and touched the Pacific Ocean on the other side. He then walked from Newport Beach, California, back to Waseca, Minnesota, where he started, becoming the first person to walk round the earth. The walk took four years, three months and sixteen days!  Dave walked 14,450 miles crossing four continents and thirteen countries,  wearing out 21 pair of shoes, and walking more than 20 million steps.

Kunst brothers with Princess Grace of Monoco The EARTHWALKER carried a plastic scroll with him around the world to document the walk. He had the mayor of every city and town that he spent the night, stamp and sign the  scroll.  When the walk was finished there were six, one- foot by five-foot, scroll sheets that were totally covered with stamps and signatures of officials around the world.
