We placed this on the spur-of-the-moment. Seeking this cache will
bring you to the area of Lock #8 on the historic Illinois and
Michigan Canal. Contrary to the title, the cache is NOT on the lock
itself. Seek a small tupperware-type container.
While you're here, take a look at the informational map and check
out the restored lock and the locktender's house. Another must-see
is the nearby aqueduct which carries the canal over the Aux Sable
Creek: it's a bridge over water for water!
MANY thanks to "RetiredDNR" for the following:

- He adopted the cache for 8 months while I was overseas
- He has served the state and exploits its backroads treasures via

along the Illinois and Michigan Canal
