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.

Marathon Magnetic Mystery GC1D22K
When one wants a no nonsense cache so that they can easily move on to the next one, then this is the perfect kind of cache. Just a simple magnetic key box, just like the title of the cache says. Parked next to the sign, found the container, signed the log, and away I go. The Dunkin Donuts right near here was VERY tempting. Incidentally, if looked up on Google maps in the street view, one can see the sign where the cache is located. At the bottom of the cache there is a person who looks like they might be a cacher, but who knows. There just aren’t too many people lingering at the bottom of a gas station sign next to an interstate!
Departure Time – 9:49 pm
