Lonesome Prairie Traditional Cache
Aceey: Today was a good day to come out and check up on my caches at White Water. This one I have been thinking about archiving and today is the day. This cache was not quite up to the level of the others out here at White Water Canyon. I'll have to think of something new for this area.

The beacon will be spotted from a distance but the cache is very well hidden and may not be easy to find. Remember you assume all responsibility and risks when geocaching please be careful near the bluff areas. Permission to place this cache has been granted by John Klien from Jones County Conservation.
This cache will bring you to the South East section of White Water Canyon, this section is know as Lost Canyon. Bridging the lines between Dubuque, Jackson and Jones counties, Whitewater Canyon Wildlife Area is one of the jewels in the Dubuque County & Jones County Conservation Board system. This 419 acre area is open for public hunting during state designated hunting seasons so please wear your orange when necessary. It is also a favorite with hikers, wildlife-watchers, and anglers dipping a line in Whitewater Creek. During periods of sufficient water, it is also floated by canoer's and kayaker's. Winter provides areas to snowshoe and cross-country ski. One of only three true canyons in the State of Iowa, the walls of Whitewater provide a lesson in the state's geology taking one back 450 million years to a time when what is now Iowa was under the sea. Rare plants and animals are also sheltered in the various natural communities found on the property so remember to take only pictures and leave only footprints.
Operating hours are 6:30 am until 10:30 pm year-round.
**Congratulations to Emily on FTF, and for sharing the honor with BBB, Iowa Pete, JDLC1936 & RonTon**
