This is one of 17 caches in the
Crisscrossin’ Kendall County series. When visiting each cache
in the series, be sure to take note of the “clue numbers”
provided in the cache containers as you will need these to
determine the coordinates for the final, “County Treasure”.
Please don’t share clue numbers with your caching friends;
make them find them just like you did!
I call Kendall County home; after all, I was born here and have
lived in either Oswego or Boulder Hill for nearly all of my 35
years. Here's the problem…..I’ve spent just about all my time in
the northeast corner of the county, only occasionally venturing out
to other areas. I decided recently that I was long overdue to visit
all the cities, towns and villages that the county has to offer,
and this series of caches resulted from my journey.
The hides in this series range in difficulty and terrain (the
final will be especially physically challenging), and also by size
of container. Despite the current price of gas (yikes!), I hope
you’ll take the time to find them all and perhaps enjoy some new
sights along the way. This series will take you to:
Aurora
Boulder Hill
Bristol
Helmar
Joliet
Lisbon
Millbrook
Millington
Minooka
Montgomery
Newark
Oswego
Plainfield
Plattville
Plano
Sandwich
Yorkville

A nice highway map of the county is available at

Happy hunting!
