Geocache Description:


This geocache is part of the US 23 Discovery Trail, a 200 mile geo-trail from Standish, Michigan in the south to Mackinaw City, Michigan in the north. Caches have been placed at significant places along this countywide corridor. You will need to answer specific questions on your passport while discovering the special locations on the sunrise side of the state of Michigan. Information and the passport can be downloaded from the US 23 Heritage Route web site under 'US-23 Discovery Trail Geocaching!' in the 'Events' tab:

http://www.us23heritageroute.org

Once you have completed 25 of the 30 + caches in this geo-trail, you can take your passport to one of the following sites during business hours: McGulpin Lighthouse, 500 Headlands Drive, Mackinaw City, Michigan or the Standish Historical Depot and Welcome Center, 107 N Main St, Standish, Michigan to pick up your souvenir tag.

Or you can mail your passport to:

Denise Cline, NEMCOG,

80 Livingston Blvd Suite U-108, PO Box 457,

Gaylord, MI 49734

Note: only one tag per geocaching team name will be available. Only 150 souvenir tags were minted.

If you choose to seek this cache you will be looking for a cammo painted Lock 'N Lock style container in a roadside park.  This park offers a beautiful view of the Straits, including Bois Blanc island, Round Island, Mackinaw Island, St. Ignace and the Mackinac Bridge if you get to the shoreline. Take a break, stretch and enjoy the scenery.
