Geocache Description:


48 State Cache Dash Introduction (GC79X8F)

This series of caches is intended to be a simulation of my 48 state trip, but on a much smaller scale, more or less making a counter-clockwise circuit of Dane county. If done in one trip, it will take several hours, depending on how long each stop is, and will cover somewhere in the neighborhood of 160 miles.

A few notes…

-Look for the state stickers on the beacons.
-They are all park and grabs.
-Most are winter friendly, some are not.
-Almost all caches are on road signs, a few guard rails.
-Look for magnetic key holders, pill bottles, or homemade pvc containers.
-All log times in the trip descriptions are Central Time.
-If using a cell phone for searching, there are some areas where the signal may be weak or lost altogether.
-If traveled in the intended order, most of the caches will be on the right side of the road, others might need a quick u turn.

Hey! Is This Heaven?? GC5V21F

This wasn’t my scheduled stop for an Iowa cache, but I called an audible since I would be passing close by here anyway. This is the location of the Field of Dreams used in the movie starring Kevin Costner. My wife and I had visited here a few years prior and I thought it would be fun to come see the field again. When I stopped here there were only three caches, but I think there are a couple more now. I snagged this cache and the one to the east of the barn (No – It’s Iowa, GC5V22G). After grabbing the caches, I was having some fun since I was the only person there and made a video of me running the bases. Also learned I am really out of shape. Time to hit the road again…

Departure Time – 9:17am
