Another Rt 66 Second Side Traditional Cache

Still another cache for you Rt 66 followers. Not far from other caches.  It is a different take on guardrail finds. Hope you enjoy the twist.  I used to pass this everyday going to town, never dreamed it would one day be abandoned wide spot in the road. It is a magnetic cache but not on the guardrail itself. There is good place to park. It is a busy road and caring people who may stop to ask if you need help.

Rt 66 once was the lifeblood of our country. Motels, gas stations, and restaurants dotted the path it carved from Chicago to the Pacific Ocean. Now in many places it is little more than a farm road if it exists at all. There are still lots to see along this route, especially in Mt Olive. Please take your time to see them. Enjoy our town rooted in the culture of Eastern European miners and German farmers. Mother Jones, the famous union advocate is buried here. I have lived across Rt 66 all my life. I have seen it go from busy highway to almost forgotten road. Nostalgia of the old days + interest of the young keep the memories alive. If you are older, keep the memories alive by telling of your experiences. If you are younger, listen to the  fascinating  tales Rt 66 hold for many of us. This crossroad will take you to the cemetery finds and Mother Jones.
