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.
Limousin cattle have been raised here for more then 32 years. Grazing on their pastures, they say "home is where the herd is". They also raise sheep that you might see roaming in the pasture. This brings them and their 4 children, shear joy. Keeping the cattle and the sheep separated most of the time as they get in baaaad mooods. They are blessed, honoured and proud to call themselves Canadians and it's 150th birthday. They've included a Canadian maple leaf on the corners, patriotic.
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
