Quilt Blocks of Southwest Washington.
This cache has been replaced by Quilt Block: Carpenter's Wheel GCACA61. If you are gathering info for the Bonus Cache GC6RJXD rest assured that the info gathered from this cache under the lid is the same as that in the replacement cache.
These Quilt Blocks or "barn quilts" are large, hand-painted on wood and 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. The team, verano, Mtribe and Peas&Corn, decided to place some geocaches so that you could enjoy 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 are further away than others.
3. As always, be safe and watch for traffic.
