A traditional cache located near the Nebraska/Colorado border south of Kimball, NE.
In the time I have been geocaching I have found way too many "welcome to.." caches and I generally knew exactly where to find them. Near this location are signs for both Nebraska and Colorado but the cache IS NOT ON EITHER SIGN.  I named this one 'line of departure' because while I was born in Colorado I live in Nebraska, and they are are far different cultures (we won't even mention Wyoming to the west). A line of departure is where a unit crosses the line into an assault and although not 'attacking', one should be advised one is moving into a different culture than the one being left whether one is going north or south. this is another attempt to break up the monotony of Hwy 71 for geocachers. the cache is a small tube, log only, so bring your own pencil. It may be more difficult to find in the snow.

We were on our way home with the travel trailer after a 6 day trip to Wyoming and Nebraska. It was nice to have a good pull off for this cache and it really does make the trip more enjoyable to get a cache along the way. Quality container. Thanks for the placement, emonty0001!

I didn't have any signal so I couldn't look this one up. I figured there must be one there somewhere. So I found it. Thanks for the cache.

Camping in Chadron State Park for a few days. We're working on filling in counties we haven't been to as well as doing the Nebraska passport. We also needed a Colorado cache, so this one worked well!!! TFTC
