Geocache Description:

This cache series follows the route of one of Iowa’s most ambitious road building programs – the plank road between Burlington and Mount Pleasant. Several historical markers commemorate the Plank Road route. These were placed by various chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Successful completers of this series will be able to collect the clues to a special bonus cache in the area.


Toll Booth #7 - This is the seventh in the plank road series. Container is waterproof match container located in an indigenous naturally occurring aggregate of minerals and/or mineraloids. Congratulations to BJCheryl on FTF! The Old Plank Road passed near this location as it headed toward Mt. Pleasant. If you spend some time in the Northwest corner of this area you will find the final resting spot of the town founder's brother, Solomon Dover. Hope you stopped in the city park between here and Toll Booth #6 - Dover. Information for the BONUS CACHE will be found there in a familiar location for this series.
