Geocache Description:


The FINAL CACHE CONTAINER is located at:  N37 LM.QSO  W089 PT.KRN

     The coordinates given in the listing will take you to the CHESTER WELCOME CENTER deck for a great view of the Chester Bridge and the MIGHTY Mississippi River.  The 1st statue placed on the trail - Popeye - can also be seen near this location.  Please refer to the list of statues for the coordinates and information you need to locate to find the final cache. Good luck!

     The "Popeye & Friends Character Trail" is a trail in progress consisting of Bronze and Granite statues of Popeye characters placed in various areas throughout Chester, Illinois.  Popeye The Sailor, created by Elzie Crisler Segar, has been overlooing the Mississppi River in Segar Park for more than 40 years.  So far, 14 other statues (20 characters have joined Popeye on the trail. The plans are to add ther characters through the year 2020 for a total of 21.  This trail will be an adventure for those seeking out all the characters from "Popeye The Sailorman" films.

You will need to visit each of the statues and find the information needed for each coordinate number in the final cache. I've listed the statues by the year they were placed. However, you may visit them in any order that you choose. Be careful that you match the correct number with each letter. There are parking areas close to each location. At the final, please PARK ON THE CORRECT SIDE OF THE STREET and WALK to the cache site. PLEASE CACHE ONLY FROM DAWN TO DUSK. DO NOT POST PICTURES TAKEN AT THE FINAL. That would give away its location. Look around at the final for another interesting piece to the puzzle. The container will have a variety of things and a few of Popeye and friends hiding inside. I hope that you enjoy your visit to Chester. Please feel free to stop and visit other places and attractions in the area. Thank you for trying my 2nd multi-cache.
