BQDC # 12, Mariner’s Compass Traditional Cache

NOTE: THIS CACHE LOCATION IS NOT AT THE SITE OF THE QUILT DUE TO THE HIGH TRAFFIC VOLUME ON HY 57 WHERE THE QUILT IS LOCATED.  Please pull off on the side road where the cache is located to get off Hy 57.  Look carefully to the south on the red barn and you may be able to see the quilt. This cache may not be retrievable in the winter depending on snow depth.

The Barn Quilt is a “drive-by” viewing about 3/4 mile south of the cache on the east side of Hy 57 when driving South.  The quilt is one of 45 placed in Door County between 2010-2012 as a joint project of the UW-Extension, 4-H members and leaders, FFA members and alumni, local quilt guild members and other volunteers.

The goals of the Door County Barn Quilt Project are:

• Promote the agricultural heritage of Door Co.
• Provide education about the art and history of quilting
• Highlight the architecture and historical significance of barns throughout Door Co.
• Encourage economic development by promoting rural tourism
• Build an adult-youth partnership through the implementation of the project

More information on the project can be seen at https://www.facebook.com/BarnQuiltsOfDoorCounty

Please tread lightly as you search out the caches.  CITO and BYOP.  Feel free to post pictures of the barn quilts, but please don’t give away the cache location or container.

Happy Caching!
