Geocache Description:

Holton, Kansas

I grew up in this little "Rockwellian" town.
If you close your eyes and call up an image of "Small Town Americana", chances are Holton will bear a striking resemblance to that image.  I will slowly be releasing a series of caches in this "cache-poor" town that will bring cachers to some of the locations that I enjoyed while growing up in this town.

Brick-lined streets, beautiful parks, courthouse square...Holton is a real "slice of Americana"


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!!!

***UPDATE 04/12/2014***THE CACHE HAS BEEN MOVED TO A NEW LOCATION AND THE WHERIGO CARTRIDGE HAS BEEN UPDATED. IF YOU DOWNLOADED AND/OR PLAYED THE CARTRIDGE OFF SITE, YOU HAVE THE WRONG COORDINATES.***YOU WILL NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE CARTRIDGE AGAIN AND REPLAY IT FOR KANSAS TO OBTAIN THE NEW COORDINATES FOR THE CACHE***

The coordinates lead you to the parking lot of a park with an area large enough to complete the Wherigo cartridge. The final is within walking distance and there will be a small amount of bushwhacking near the final.  The park has several soccer fields, so muggle activity may be high at certain times.  Just try to not mutter loudly while staring at your device and pacing around the park. cheeky

It should be noted this is a play anywhere cartridge and can be played anywhere with a minimum of 250 square feet of space.  The game cartridge can be downloaded at the following link.

Fifteen Wherigo Cartridge Note - The name of the cartridge is "Fifteen".

This Wherigo is part of a larger project created by Rusty O Junk. The original cache is located in New York, GC48473. The idea is to have geocaches scattered all over the USA that could be found using the one wherigo cartridge. Below is a link to the map and list of states currently included in the wherigo cartridge.
