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 9s are along Rte 20 continuing east from Galena past the 8s. They are at intersections. Please park on the side roads.
The 9 of Spades is located at the north entrance to a roadside park.
This is part of Tapley Woods Conservation Area. In my youth this was Tapley's Timber. Look at the satellite view and you will notice that Rte 20 follows the ridgeline here. The trees cover the slopes to the valleys.
