Paint The Town!


Welcome to the New Year ~ 2009!


I thought it would be fun to find places in the city or the suburbs that are locations where people can Paint The Town! (It helps that I visit this area once a month too!

So, what makes this spot so special you might ask? At this place you can use the underground passageway to walk over to the beach ~ watch the sunrise (if you are up that early), or enjoy Navy Pier, a walk, a bike ride, or even just people watch!

Or you can go from the beach to the city. A few short blocks south and you are at the north end of the Mag Mile! And the Water Tower, John Hancock, shopping and eating of all kinds!

Paint The Town!
Visiting Chicago? Exchange travel bugs, drop some off, pick some up, or just stop to sign the log. Work in the city ~ this is a great place to drop off travel bugs to move them on their way. Whatever the reason this is one of the few large caches in the heart of the city.

It is chock full of travel bugs which need to be moved along, Several Geocoins, just for you!; for those logging into this cache early (please take only one geocoin!), and other goodies!


These pictures from Google Earth give you a good idea of where this cache is placed. Parking is scarce ~ so plan accordingly! You might want to grab a few of the other caches in the area at the same time as long as you are here!





Looking towards the city from cache.

By the way ~ I really like pictures! So if you take any of your adventure while city caching "load 'em in!"

*Interested in Benchmarks? There are two which should be very easy to "find" & "log" while coming out for this cache! ME2656 AND ME1625


*Please note! This is the big city of Chicago and if a muggle happens to see where the container is hidden he may steal it. Please make sure no one is watching when grabbing or replacing the container. Thanks!
