This geocache is hidden near a beutiful canal full of interesting fish!. the bridge crossing the canal is rusted and dented from being walked over for over 80 years!, be prepared for wild animals as this area is a popular spot for them to catch a drink in the shade and possibly catch fish.

this cache is easy one to find, but it has a neat view and some cool goodies :)


The canal that this cache is hidden on is one of the oldest in the town, it has a bridge going over it that is nearly 100 years old!, nonthelles it posseses an amazing view!, fish are often seen swimming around in the canal during sumemr and spring, the canal is easily accesable, being a around 10 meters away from a major highway makes it easy to get to, but not so easy to find!

So, it's a 1 difficulty. Either the coords are not accurate or it's gone. Coords are at some mailboxes near the canal. We looked around the whole area, but found nothing.

What follows is a cut and paste log – any details about this specific cache are above

My 11 year old son, Nosirrah52 and I are on a 10 day tour of the American West searching out new counties in which we have not found a cache.

We think of ourselves as county cachers – we rarely enter a new county without finding at least one geocache – at the start of our trip we have made finds in 1555 counties out of 3142 in the United States. Very early in our trip we will pass the halfway mark. If all goes as planned we will find just over 200 new counties on this trip bringing us to about 1750 total counties with a geocache find.

We flew into Kansas City and are driving clockwise from Missouri to Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and then back to KC. On this trip we hope to finish the states of Arizona and North Dakota, which will be our 17th and 18th completed states.

Last year we did something similar driving the outer edge of the Western half of the country and this year we are driving just inside that loop. Here is a link to Nosirrah52’s current county map.

If you see this soon, we are driving the turquoise part and last years trip was in Yellow. As we clinch counties the turquoise will turn pink. The counties are color coded by his age when we first made a find in that location.

His goal is to find a cache in every county by the time he graduates from high school.

We are members of a Facebook group with many other like minded county cachers. If you are a county cacher or just want to hear some of our stories, you are welcome to join us at the County Caching Facebook Group

I am one of the admins and will approve you as I see the requests.

This trip and our entire odyssey is an amazing way to experience the country with my son. The ability to do that is supported by literally thousands of individuals who hide and maintain caches in every county in the country. I am very grateful for the time, effort and money each CO has taken to support our hobby.
