Deck of Cards Series
I do not save the log sheets from this series. If a log sheet is wet or missing, please feel free to replace it. Thanks.
There are a lot of great caches in Galena. Unfortunately there is limited room for more. But we need more caches for our visitors. My answer is to surround Galena with caches. Project GC tracks caches found by owner. I am working on finding 100 caches from each of 20 owners. I think it is only fair that I have 100 caches for them to find. I need about 50 more hides to end up with over 100 active caches. What is a number around 50? 52 - a Deck of Cards!
I will place caches 4 at a time. I will try to add interesting information about each. All the history in Galena is not in town. I hope you enjoy this series.
The 4s are all on W Buckhill Road. It is a winding road so enjoy the scenery.
The 4 of Diamonds is located at the intersection of W Buckhill Road and W Bowden Road. It is pronounced bow as in "bow and arrow". There used to be a lead smelter here near the river. It was Bowden's Furnace. Bowden Road will take you to Council Hill. The 5 of Clubs is located at its intersection with W Council Hill Road. But don't go there yet. The 4 of Clubs is still ahead on W Buckhill Road. Get it first and then come back to here.
