Geocache Description:

A test strip container. There is parking nearby.

This used to be "Let's go Go Karting" but when Kiddieland was torn down to make way for CostCo they also took out the Go Kart track. :(



Not all was lost though as there is an abandoned driving range just to the west. I have many fun memories of dashing over here over my lunch break to hit a bucket a few times a week. Of course this was before Geocaching took over my recreational life. :)



Here is the balance of the text from the Go Kart listing.

Man! That used to be fun! I know there are a few of these places still in operation but not like this used to be. The low slung tube frames. The gas motor's roaring. The wind in your hair.

The bumping your friends into the tire walls. :) Getting kicked out for bumping.

There used to be another Go Kart track on the SW corner of North Ave and 1st Ave that was even older with a great straight section where you could find out who's car was the fastest.

Tell me your story and Have Fun!
