Geocache Description:


Quilt Blocks of Southwest Washington

These Quilt Blocks, or "barn quilts" are large, hand-painted wooden blocks typically displayed on the front or side of a barn.  We have been noticing more and more of these popping up on barns and other structures in southwest Washington, so the team, Peas&Corn, verano and mtribe decided to place some geocaches near them so that you could enjoy seeing them too.

A few things to remember:

1. Some of the Quilt Blocks are on private residential property and operating businesses. Please respect the owner's wishes and adhere to the instructions given on the cache. If you can enter private property, you will be advised; otherwise, stay out!

2. The coordinates provided will get you within sight of the Quilt Blocks. Some further away than others.

3. As always, be safe, and watch for traffic.

CACHE CONTAINER IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES.
