Deck of Cards Series
I do not save the log sheets from this series. If a log sheet is wet or missing, please feel free to replace it. Thanks.
There are a lot of great caches in Galena. Unfortunately there is limited room for more. But we need more caches for our visitors. My answer is to surround Galena with caches. Project GC tracks caches found by owner. I am working on finding 100 caches from each of 20 owners. I think it is only fair that I have 100 caches for them to find. I need about 50 more hides to end up with over 100 active caches. What is a number around 50? 52 - a Deck of Cards!
I will place caches 4 at a time. I will try to add interesting information about each. All the history in Galena is not in town. I hope you enjoy this series.
One day I stopped at a business on the west end of Galena. There was a huge traffic jam, cars and people parked all over. I asked a gentleman what was going on. He said there was a wreck blocking US Rte 20 West. Nobody could get through to go towards Dubuque. He had been waiting over half an hour. I told him I would go back one block and drive around the closed road. Driving the same distance on scenic Chetlain Lane and Menominee Road will get you to the intersection of US Rte 20 and Menominee Road and only take a few minutes longer. The 7s will show you the way.
The 7 of Spades is located at the intersection of W Chetlain Lane and Dory Lane. To get here you got to drive down a winding hill and cross the Sinsinawa River. There used to be a boat club on the Sinsinawa river named Beaver Valley. They had access to the Mississippi river. That area is now private. Later an air strip was built south of Chetlain Lane with a surrounding subdivision. It didn't make it and has been torn up.
