Visit Potosi Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

chewysfolks: Sad to say I am archiving this cache. My contact in the area moved away and I was unable to find anyone willing to adopt the cache. We live 125+ miles away and without my contact its not practical for me to maintain it. I received many positive comment on the cache and the location .
As the skipper said to Gilligan "Good bye little buddy"

Visit Main street Potosi, it's three miles long. This little village has quite a history from lead mining , beer brewing to nearby "The Great River Road".

 

Known as "the Catfish Capital of Wisconsin," the village holds an annual Catfish Festival and Fireman's Fish Fry, typically on the 2nd weekend of August.

Local road signs herald Potosi's Main Street as "the longest Main Street in the world." A newspaper article traces the claim to a 1950s item in Ripley's Believe It Or Not which made the more qualified statement that it is the longest Main Street without a cross street.[11] Current maps show a three-mile stretch, with numerous streets—including one named "Cross Street"—that drain into it and end, forming T-shaped intersections, but no street that continues across it. The stretch is divided into two portions each with a distinct street name: North Main Street and South Main Street.
