Geocache Description:

This cache is a tribute to my wife who grew up in this town

My wife grew up in this town and she always talked abouta neat landmark. What you are looking for is 170 feet off the ground but is safe to get. Built in 1949 by W.E. Caldwell Company for Gerhart Suppiyer Company. It was placed on the National Registry of Historic Sites in 2002. But not before a long battle to be saved. In 1993 it was slatted for demolision. After learning the city did not want it a group of concerned citizens started raising funds to restore it. The original cost was to be $27,000.00 but two years later the final cost was $77,400.00 it was saved. With a parade and festival to reopen it (even the Oscar Meyer Weiner Mobile attended). Still standing today. The theme for the product this was built after is "makes everything taste better." This awesome landmark is located in a town known for the "International Horseradish Festival." Part two of the clue is for informational purposes only the coordinates will lead you to the cache (this is a single stage bcache only) thanks go out to the reviewer because of his help to clarify this cache may help others in the future::: decipher only part one until you find it. Part two will lead you to a website with history and other information about this landmark. If I gave it to you in the description it would give away the location. The container is approx. a 2x4x2 tupperware container with two hotwheel cars, log book, and pencil.

NOTE:THE POISON BOXES ARE NOT THE CACHE BOX
