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 gallaghd. After clearing out the area and finding myself 10 miles from a cache I hadn't found, I decided to start hiding caches. Gallaghd kept coming over and getting FTF's on a lot of them. I finally met him when another cacher put out a cache and we both got a FTF together. Many others have run into him as well. Hail to gallaghd!.
