Welcome to the exciting “Crossing the Line Series”! This series includes a Geocache at every road that crosses into Whitman County between Highway 95 and the Idaho State Line. What you need to know/rules of this series:
This series is very rural. You are driving on and sharing the roads with the local farmers. Please be respectful. Drive slow to prevent dust. Stay out of their crops and away from their barns, home, and equipment. Some of the roads are marked as SUMMER ROAD. That does not mean that it goes to the Summer family’s farm home. What it does mean is that the road is not maintained. It will not be plowed in the Winter and will be plugged with impassable mud in the Spring. Use good judgement and common sense before venturing down a “Summer Road”.
Enjoy your trip to Whitman County!
And now for some interesting facts about Whitman County:
One of the first things noticed when crossing the line into Whitman County are the wind turbines. At last count, 7.33% of electricity in the state is produced by wind turbines. One wind turbine can power just over 500 homes.
The "Highway 27" crossing is a State Highway and is one of two crossings that are paved. There is a decent pullout at GZ, and this rural highway isn't that busy, but still be cautious while at this cache.
