This is a simple cache to call attention to our Adventure Lab here in downtown Vacaville, "Explore Vacaville's Main Street".
For more than 50 years, until the plant closed in 1986, Vacaville was often identified by the pungent aroma of dehydrating onions. Travelers on Interstate 80 were well aware of where they were when they passed through town as the smell filled their cars.
A reduced demand for dehydrated onions and lower cost products from overseas finally forced the closure in September 1986, costing some people the only jobs they had know for 40 or more years.
In the 1990s, the site was redeveloped into shops, offices, restaurants, a multiplex movie theater and a skating rink.
This cache is on the site of the old dehydrating plant.
If your group is three or more consider doing our Mob Cache in downtown, The Downtown Mob Cache.
