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 Face cards are all located between US Rte 20 and the Mississippi River southeast of Galena. Notice that the roads are hillier near the river. East Galena and Rice Townships are where my German ancestors settled. Actually they were from Prussia back before Germany was formed.
The Kirk F King caches are located along Pilot Knob Road. This is where my ancestors settled.
The King of Clubs is located at the intersection of S Pilot Knob Road and W Hart John Road.
Actually Pilot Knob Road ends here. It starts at the King of Hearts and only goes this far. This is the north end of S River Road. If you turn east on W Hart John Road you will get back to S Blackjack Road at the Queen of Hearts.
