iowaPete: Stopped by today and discovered this cache container in need of repair. Decided that it was time to put this one to bed.

Thanks to everyone who chased this one. Hopefully, there will be a new cache published in the area soon!

Geocache Description:

This cache was placed as part of Hike-n-Seek 2015.

Five of the seven gar species (family Lepisosteidae) existing worldwide are in U.S. waters. Second in size to the alligator gar—the largest gar—is the longnose, which is widely distributed from the Mississippi basin eastward, from Quebec to the southern Atlantic and Gulf Coast basins in the U.S. The world record longnose is a 50.5-pounder caught from the Trinity River in Texas. Five state records top 40 pounds.
