This has now been muggled twice and "animaled" once - see first
log. I've moved it a ways to a place where you'll not have much
trouble finding it but will need a McGuyver tool to extract it.
Maybe the muggle will have a tougher time getting it out of this
hiding place. I'll put in a better log next time I'm in the
neighborhood. If you happen to have one of the preprinted ones for
micros, feel free to replace it. Park and get out of your car very
carefully. NIGHT caching definitely not recommended.
The original was muggled by someone and is totally gone so I put
the replacement in a smaller container. You'll need your own
pencil. There is only a log in the new one. and THE NEW CACHE IS
ABOUT 10 FEET NORTH of the original.
This is a simple little cache with a few items in it to begin
with including a small pencil and log to sign and a TB to get it
started.
The cache is between Lexington and Towanda and only a few feet
off of the old Mother Road, Route 66. No need to go into the woods.
No need to go into the woods. If you are over 6 feet from the
pavement, then you are looking in the wrong place. This part of it
has been changed into a walking biking trail and this stretch and
the bridge nearby are no longer open to motor vehicles. There is a
bench near the cache to sit on and ponder where the cache may be
found. Route 66 era features of nearby Chenoa include the Historic
Matthew T. Scott Home and the Chenoa Pharmacy. There is a sign at
Chenoa indicating the place of the Scott House. Lexington Route 66
era features include Patten Cabin, Scrogin Cemetery and G.A.R.
Memorial Also, don't miss the nearby Route 66 Association of
Illinois Hall of Fame and Historic Museum in Pontiac, only a few
miles north.
PLEASE SEAL THE LID AND HIDE THE CACHE AT LEAST AS WELL AS YOU
FIND IT. The benchmark LC0716 is on the railroad bridge across the
still used old Route 66 from this cache. If you decide to check it
out, be very careful as the railroad is still very much used for
freight and passengers. If you just want to see a picture of it,
check out the listing in the benchmark sections for the photo I
took last year.
