Geocache Description:


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.


Being second generation family on this farm and raising the their children, they also have great pride in maintaining this farm. The children are learning about values and work ethics while being raised on a farm. This quilt was made in memory of her mother who loved sewing and quilts. With the many quilts she had left behind, they are treasured for the many memories that they have provided over the years.


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
