If you are my age or older (a half century) you
remember road trips with the family on two lane roads in the family
car. There were no interstate highways, fast food restaurants and
chain motels. Moreover, there were no highway rest areas as we know
them today.
There were, however, roadside rests. These havens
of sanity in a road vacation provided a place to rest and picnic
after being confined to an unairconditioned car all day.
Kawanavista was one of those roadside rests along
the Midland Trail, now known as US Rt. 60. There were picnic
tables, grill pits, outside toilets, a hand pumped well and a shady
place to relax.
This replacement cache is across the road and a
little east from the old roadside rest. There is an easy place to
park.
Since construction for the new Breckenridge subdivision has
built a road over the previous location of this cache, it has been
relocated and made an EGG micro. It is actually closer to the
short lived Knottywood than to what used to be Kawanavista
Park, but until the construction mess clears, the cache will have
to reside here. For the time being it is a BYOP micro
EGG.
The container is a small clear jar..
Happy travels.
