Geocache Description:

In 2009, Discovery Channel's cable show, Mythbusters, aired their second episode of season 7. Titled "Alaska Special 2", they were tackling various myths that came out of the great white north of the 49th state. One myth in particular has significance to this cache location! http://img.geocaching.com/cache/thumb/4635c205-297e-4aef-9e5b-b3a33a29f985.jpg

The myth that the crew tested was to see if a car could be sliced in half the long way by a snowplow with a wedge shaped blade. According to the stars of the show, the only place they could find such equipment to experiment with was in the town of Burke, Wisconsin. The crew traveled here to acquire a truck and a plow. They had some fun driving the trucks around and playing in the snow before heading to a separate test facility to conduct their experiments. Lets just say it didn't end well for the cars they used. The truck, however, ended up back here at the company that supplied it to the show. As of 7/15/15 it is located in the back of the equipment yard. A huge thank you to this family owned facility and Melissa for permission to place this cache!
