The SIGN coords listed below take you to an informational sign near the rest rooms. To reach the cache from there, as well as to get more of a typical letterboxing experience, please follow written directions, which are given below.
The Movie. Speaking of boxing, "Million Dollar Baby" is a story about a boxing manager training a woman to be the best she can be. More deeply it deals with youth v. age, talent v. hope, ambition v. honesty, and loyalty v. opportunity.
Best Areas The movie won four Academy Awards (2004) for Best Movie, Best Director (Clint Eastwood), Best Actress (Hilary Swank) and Best Supporting Actor (Morgan Freeman).
Rest Areas When the interstate highway system was built in the 1950's and 60's it was a great boost for local companies who subcontracted in building the roads as well as the rest areas. Because of the costs and relative luxury of the restrooms compared to previous facilities along the highways, they were dubbed "million dollar outhouses" or "million dollar babies".
Directions to the cache The SIGN coordinates will take you to a sign post near the restrooms where you can read about the early development of the flour mills in the vicinity. From the sign head north by northwest on the paths on the right side of the parking lot. When you come to the penultimate table on the right cross over to the left to the last table on the left avoiding any autos exiting the lot. Behind the table is a tree with a large scar on its north side. Tucked into the scar is a small container in a fairly winter friendly position about two feet above ground. Remember to bring a stamp and ink pad if you you have them. Use the ends of the inner container for a stamp.
F(T)F Award $1,000,000 bill.
