Geocache Description:

This is part of the northern extension of the power trail begun by cwgladstone in Kentucky. The basic idea is to create a power trail the entire 675-mile length of US-127, from Alabama to Michigan.


OHIO

US 127 serves several cities and rural communities along the extreme western edge of Ohio, including Bryan, Paulding, Van Wert, Celina, Greenville, Eaton, Hamilton, Somerville, Seven Mile, New Miami, and Cincinnati. In Cincinnati, it shares a short concurrency with its parent route, US 27, along with US 42. From there, it heads north through Fairfield and Hamilton. US 127 crosses the Ohio Turnpike near West Unity, but does not intersect with it. It also joins with US 36 for about 5 miles (8 km). The last city that US 127 goes through before reaching Michigan is Bryan. The last city US 127 goes through before Kentucky is Cincinnati. The highway is two-lane for much of it's length, but has a four-lane, divided by-pass around Greenville.



To make the caches more interesting, I want to pay tribute to cachers in each one. The tribute for this cache goes to The Wild Road. She was the first cacher that I caught finding one of my caches. We have conversed many times by e-mail since. She also shared my crazy goal of finding every cache in Preble County. Of course this is not as difficult as it would be for those in counties with large cities, but still a challenge. Her challenge is greater since she also has to find my hides. Hail to The Wild Road!. Sorry to say she passed away March 18, 2018. Keeping this cache alive as both a tribute and a memorial to her!
