This is meant to be an easy hide. You are looking for a magnetic film cannister at the end of a guard rail. Bring a writing instrument. I selected a location that provides plenty of room to pull safely off the road. US-79 is technically a north-south highway. This cache is on the northbound side.
Consider this a payback for a couple of area cachers that helped me quite a bit. Each cache in the series will highlight a famous University of Illinois alum.
Although I usually hate them, brief logs are okay. However, if you find several in the series, I would appreciate one longer log that describes your experience.
Dick Butkus was born in Chicago, Illinois. He attended the University of Illinois and played football from 1962-1964 as a center and linebacker. In 1963, he was selected as the Big Ten Conference's Most Valuable Player. He was named the American Football Coaches Association Player of the Year in 1964. Butkus was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy in both 1963 and 1964, a rare accomplishment for a defensive player in those days. He was the third player selected in the 1965 National Football League draft and played his entire career for the Chicago Bears. He was selected for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1979.
