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.

Super Hero I-40 Eastbound TB Stash & Dash GCKEW7

Almost 4 hours later and I scored another smiley face for a cache. This one was right off of Interstate 40 just off a frontage road under a tree. This was also part of the historic Route 66. I parked on the shoulder and up the small hill. It took a few minutes before I found to the container. It was supposed to be a trading spot for super hero figures, but it was pretty much empty except for some small trinkets. At least it was an ammo can. I all enjoy those. Back to the van and time to fuel up again before I was back on the highway.

Departure Time – 5:35 pm
