The highway that you are travelling on is called the Northern Woods and Waters Route. You cannot travel this route without being in awe of the great beauty and diversity both in plants and animals created for our use and enjoyment. There are those that would have you believe everything happens by chance, others divine direction, I will leave it up to you. Be blessed during your ride and soak in your surroundings, stop for a few caches or them all.
The bible is divided into the old and new testaments that together make up a total of 66 books of the bible. It is said that each book’ author was inspired to do his writings without consult with the other authors yet the Bible seems to flow from beginning to end. I have used each book as the title for a cache along this route and hope you can learn a little about the bible as you cache on! Cache type varies as you travel.
This is another Sunday School story, a story about a man and a fish (be it a whale!). God is determined to save his people and sends Jonah to tell them the message of repentance but Jonah does not want these people to be saved so he runs away. While on a ship bound westward, a storm comes up and the crew determines it is Jonah’s fault so he is thrown over board to drown, instead God sends a large fish to swallow him. To us this would not be “being saved” but Jonah was let off on land and after reflection did pass on God’s message of repentance to his people. This story was written about 785-760 B.C.
