The container at this location is
a Bison Tube. After signing the log sheet please roll it up and place it in the
cap. Then screw on the bottom piece. This prevents the log sheet from being
crushed and difficult to sign. Thank You!
These caches are on some of the rural roads of Macoupin County. Enjoy the less traveled roads and see some unusual, interesting and historic places.
This cache has been placed at this spot to make you aware of an interesting Route 66 display. The signboard has been created by Emil Fritz and exhibits the path of Old Historic Route 66 that was in use from 1926 to 1930. Also on display is very nice collection of Illinois license plates from 1948 through 1979. The State of Illinois stopped issuing annual plates in 1979 and initiated the license plate sticker program eliminating the year being stamped into the license plates. Emil, who lived just across the road from the sign, and his sons have spent considerable time creating and erecting this neat memorial.
In September of 2015 Mr. Fritz passed away. He will certainly be missed. Most memorable about Emil was his pleasant good nature and friendly demeanor.
In addition to the cache container there is a guest log in the mail box adjacent to the display that you are invited to sign.
This cache is placed on private property with permission from the owner.
Please do not search for this cache at night.
The container is a Magnetic Bison Tube container with only a log sheet.
Bring a writing instrument to sign the log - This is a small log sheet so sign with date and name only.
Bugs, Insects, Critters, Snakes or Poisonous Plants could be present. Search appropriately!
A grass/dirt parking area to pull off of the road is available at this cache. Use some discretion when leaving the roadway if the ground is wet.
