Geocache Description:




PLEASE REMEMBER CACHEIN AND TRASHOUT



This Cache was originally placed for the 2009 IGO Hide and Seek Event.

Wonder Girl and I had a great time hiding these caches for you. We took Eastern Plymouth
County, that is anything east of Highway 75, with a couple of exceptions in LeMars.

Eastern Plymouth County is mostly high quality farm land and is not as “scenic” as
Western Plymouth County. We did find a few interesting spots for you to check out.

This 40-acre black soil native prairie is a remnant of what Plymouth County was like
at the time of settlement. In the heart of the farming region of Plymouth County, this
native tall grass prairie survived through the efforts of Erma O’Brien. Her heirs, in order
to protect the prairie and make a lasting memorial, donated the prairie to the Plymouth
County Conservation Board. The prairie is open to hiking, hunting and enjoyment of
wildflowers. It is a great place for photographers and native prairie enthusiasts.
CAUTION should be used during hunting season.
Cache should be an easy find. Bushwhacking could be tough.
