Welcome to the Launching Pad! A place with one of the most iconic monuments along the historic route 66. The gemini giant! Located in the small town of Wilmington, Il.
The Gemini Giant is a landmark statue on U.S route 66 at the eastern entrance to Wilmington, Will County, Illinois. Standing outside the Launching Pad drive-in restaurant, the 30 foot tall statue is one of many giant "Muffler Man" advertising props found throughout the USA in the Sixties. The Gemini Giant is named after the gemini space program and holds a silver "rocket ship" in his hands, while sporting an astronaut's space helmet that resembles a welding mask.
This cache is unfortunately no longer a larger cache and cannot fit any swag or trackables. The orginal hiding spot is no longer there and I can't find a good spot to replace the original container. I would like to give a big thanks to the owners of the Launching Pad for allowing me to place the cache here. However at the moment, the restaurant is no longer open. Don't forget to take a selfie by the Gemini Giant!!!
