Enjoy a tour of
Monroe County, Illinois and find some caches along the way. This
tour will take you around the county to historic and scenic
places. Most of the containers are micros so if you do not like
those you might want to skip the tour. Please respect the
location of some of these caches and when parking along a
roadway stay safe. The majority of the caches are close to the
road or within short walking distance. One is a hike up a hill
but I guarantee the view from the top will be worth
it.
As of this date the
caches are numbered from north to south with # 1 being the northern
most cache. Since people will be starting from different locations
there is no set route. You do not have to do these in numerical
order, and you may not want to complete all of the tour in one
trip.
Some of the placements
are not the very "exciting" type, but you will have something to
look at while there and upon completion of the tour I hope you will
say it was worth it, including the common hides. At a couple of
locations if you have not been there before you may want to include
the time to stop and stay awhile.
There is only one rule
for this tour and it is that the hours are daylight only. There
will be less problems if you follow this rule and I am sure the
residents and police will appreciate it. Illinois state law
prohibits the entry of a cemetery after sunset. Enjoy, bring your
own pencil and additional stages may be added later.
# 2 - Palmier
Cemetery
One of the oldest
cemeteries in Monroe County.
