Geocache Description:

This cache should be a relatively easy park 'n' grab near the junction of several local highways, just west of the Indiana-Ohio border. I had originally set up a hide in a nearby location, but things didn't work out there so had to improvise a little!! The highway is fairly well-travelled, and the cache is just off the shoulder of the road; so keep track of small children when looking for it.


From the ubiquitous Wikipedia: “In traffic engineering, guardrails prevent vehicles from veering off the roadway into oncoming traffic, crashing against solid objects or falling into a ravine [Ed. note: the floodplain of the Whitewater River lies below the road at this location].  A secondary objective is keeping the vehicle upright while deflected along the guardrail...the guardrail is effectively one strong band that transfers the force of the vehicle to multiple posts beyond the impact area or into a ground anchor at the end of the guardrail.”
