Geocache Description:


This is a cache located at a rest area along I-65 northbound, near mile post 148. Since if you are searching for this cache that you are heading north, I thought that I would compile a list of reasons to go north. While optional, I would like it if you listed a reason along with your find entry. It can be anything, from the literal (e.g. to get a root canal) to the comical (e.g. to dance with polar bears). I'll go ahead and start the list...

  1. Visiting the Fortress of Solitude. (North, Miss Teschmacher!)
  2. See the Canadian cops. (Mounties?) - [Saving Shiloh]
  3. To go to work. (At the North Pole?) -[cachebicyclingsanta]
  4. To get home from work. (Carpooling?) - [mom&boys]
  5. Going home from business trip to Cincinnati. (Escape from Ohio?) - [2 CBR]
  6. Going home from a Hamvention. (Hamvention??) - [Sergeant Homer]
  7. Pillaging and plundering. (Ice-breakers?) - [Eye Of The Pirate]
  8. To see Northern Lights. (The Little Dipper?) - [oldtimers]
  9. Family reunion in Michigan. (The state or the lake?) - [Web-ling & Miss Pumpkin]
  10. Going to a wedding rehearsal. (Here comes the geocacher...) [metboiler]
  11. Running into the cache owner at the cache. (Incredible odds, no?) [katguy]
  12. To see the Chicago skyline (Blowing in the wind?) [Unk]
  13. ...

The cache is a mid-sized pill bottle that has been camoflauged. There's a little room for small items, but it's mostly a log and a pencil. The cache does start with a Costa Rican coin and a few Lewis & Clark edition five-cent coins. The coordinates may be slightly off due to low accuracy in readings, but the cache location should stick out pretty well.
