BQDC # 3, Duck Feet 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 Hwy 57. This cache may not be retrievable in the winter depending on snow depth.

The quilt viewing is a “drive-by” about ¼ mile north of the cache location. The barn quilt is actually based on the pattern on a quilt the barn owner has.

This farmstead built in the late 1890’s has a barn constructed with “stovewood siding”. The walls are 24” thick made of split lengths of cedar or tamarack with mortar placed around them. When the farmer could afford to, they typically covered the stovewood construction with clapboards.

This cache will bring you to a viewing location for one of the Barn Quilts of Door County. 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.

More information on the project can be seen at http://barnquiltsofdoorcounty.com

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!
