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 8s are along Rte 20 heading east from Galena. They are at intersections. Please park on the side roads.
The 8 of Hearts is located at the intersection of Rte 20 and Powder House Hill road. This is the last street before heading out of Galena.
Gateway Park and all its cool Blacktop Guy caches are nearby. You can see the Gateway parking lot directly north of this cache. To the east, the hill on the other side of Rte 20 is Horseshoe Mound. If you want to go up there it is open to the public. To get there you need to go out Blackjack Road to the Horseshoe Mound Preserve access road.
