We all know the famous Iowa Pete. He is lots of fun and meticulous when it comes to geocaching. You may have had the pleasure of meeting Iowa Pete and his family at an event or out caching. I have had the pleasure of caching with Pete and this cache is placed to honor Pete and his family on their achievement of collecting 2000 Geocaches. Way to go Iowa Pete & Family!!!
This cache will bring you to the South East section of White Water Canyon, this section is also known 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 Iowa Pete, BIGBROTHERBEAR, RonTon & JDLC1936 on FTF honors***
