#3 - 2005 White Sox Great Lakes Interstate Tour Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

blackreugen & otto: Looks like this travel plaza is dead in the water. Just by looking at recent sat imagery it looks completely deserted and gated off. Archiving for good.

Geocache Description:

Cache container is a 32 oz. Nalgene bottle covered with duct tape.

We travel this route on a regular basis - at least 3 or 4 times a year - and decided to celebrate the White Sox winning the 2005 world series. This is the third in a series of caches we will be placing along interstates in the Great Lakes area dedicated to the White Sox winning the 2005 World Series. Cache is located at a travel plaza on I-90 eastbound. Original contents are log book and pen, tiny White Sox batting helmet, on the road again motor home TB, and a FTF prize of a 2005 White Sox World Series pin. There is room for only SMALLER size trade items and travel bugs. It would be nice if the items and bugs were kept to the White Sox theme but all are welcome.

Cache is about a 420 foot walk from parking area.

Since everyone visiting these caches will be travelling we will make the hints rather specific to keep the level of necessary revisitations as low as possible.

**Important Update**
We have had extreme trouble with this cache in terms of whether it is on IDNR property or not. At no time was this cache ever on IDNR property in its 6 year existence. The rest stop has always been used to reach this cache. No geocacher has ever had to cross the fence into IDNR property in order to retrieve the container. The coordinates have been updated to reflect this. Unfortunately, we had to make an essentially brand new cache listing because of this.
