I have always liked looking out for these barn quilts while out for a drive or caching along the back roads, it kind of makes the drive a little more pleasant in
HURON COUNTY.
Horticultural Beauty was designed to represent the work Seaforth & District Horticultural Society does to beautify our community. The hanging basket quilt block on the planter symbolizes the beautiful hanging baskets supplied annually by the society for our downtown, and its yellow and green are the colours of the SDHS. The yellow flowers growing in the planter depict Calendulas, the floral emblem of the society. This 8’ x 8’ quilt block hangs on the north side of Allan and Karen Carter’s barn in Harpurhey and is visible from Highway 8 west of Seaforth.
IPM 2017 is where the barn quilt craze mainly started in Huron County as a contest.
Barn quilts originally started there roots in Ohio.
Barn quilts tell stories.
The proper size for a barn quilt is 8'x8'.
They draw motorists to our rural highways, roads that have many stories to tell.
Barn Quilts are rural graffiti – civic art about sacred places, battlefields, and historic locations.
Cache is located by a deep ditch.
As usual always WATCH YOUR STEP, CAN BE A BUSY ROAD, WATCH FOR TRAFFIC.
PLEASE DO NOT FIND this cache at night - the placement is contingent on finds OCCURRING DURING THE DAY.
ABSOLUTELY NO NIGHT CACHING, RESPECT THE NEARBY HOMEOWNERS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH QUITE A FEW OF THEM AND ASSURED THEM THAT THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN.
Happy Caching
