Geocache Description:

This location is the exact spot that the movie "North by Northwest" conducted the filming for the crop duster scene. 


In this movie from 1959, in this scene Roger Thornhill travels by bus to an isolated crossroads with flat countryside all around. Another man (Malcolm Atterbury) is dropped off at the bus stop, but he eventually leaves on another bus. Then a crop duster goes into a dive toward Thornhill, narrowly missing him. He hides in a cornfield after the assailants fire at him with an automatic weapon, but the airplane dusts it with pesticide, forcing him out. Desperate, he steps in front of a speeding tank truck, which stops barely in time. The airplane crashes into the tanker.
