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.

Back to the Borderline GCWJ3T

Only a short four miles and five minutes away from the previous cache, this one was located at a rest stop and information center. It was a short walk to the back of the property and a quick signature on the log and I headed back to my geomobile. I hadn’t eaten in a while, so I took the opportunity to make myself a couple of sandwiches and an apple before hitting the road again. I also grabbed a cache ( I-90 WB @MM167, GC157VJ) at another rest stop after a 3 hr drive so that I could stretch my legs out. At 8:42 pm, I stopped in Wall, SD to fuel up and then in Rapid City, I had to stop in order to address an issue that had come up with my van. After about a half hour in the Walmart parking lot, I was good to go…

Rapid City Departure Time – 9:56 pm
