The cache is located along a frontage road near the east end of this historic stretch of Interstate. Along the Interstate just south of the cache is a new sign erected to commemorate this piece of U.S. history.
You are looking for an ammo can painted by 1BigWally that we won at the Moose Pancakes 2011 event. Initial contents include a logbook, pen, a little bit of swag and a one-of-a-kind FTF prize related to the cache.
On October 15, 1990, President George H. W. Bush signed Public Law 101-427 changing the official name of the Interstate System to honor the President who did so much to bring it about. Based on an amendment in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), it is now called the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways.

Congratulations to 1BigWally for the FTF!
