Clawson is a nice, quiet, small community with a bit of history. Great place to park and walk or bike around town. There’s a variety of cache types in town, including an Adventure Lab.
There are 15 caches in this color line series. The cache names, drop points, stages, and finals were not randomly chosen. They spotlight a bit of history, a bit of the present, interesting things to see, spots that have special meaning for me, and a way to get around town. Some of the attributes apply to the drop point area. D/T is for the puzzles and working on the color series on foot or bike. Enjoy your time in town!
