What caches do I NEED to do?

[DiscGolfDiver]

I am trying to plan my trip to my in-laws ahead of time. I am going to be in Perrysburg for 3 weeks and I have nothing but time. I would really like to find out what are some of the very best caches in Ohio, Michigan, & Indiana.

Anyway.... long story shor: If I only do 10 - 20 caches in Ohio, which ones should they be?

Do you want cache and dash, nice view, long hikes, tough micros?

We have a group in Elmore, Genoa, and Oak Harbor that can give you some basic finds, but make sure not to miss those out by the water in Marblehead. If you want to go on a caching tour with the familyand want some nice views/history, doing a loop in Ottawa Co. is nice. It should be unseasonably warm this weekend, and that'd be a nice place to introduce folks to caching. Castalia Quarry (Castalia, Ohio) has a nice group, too, and would be good after finding the Ottawa Co. caches.

Locally, check out any metropark. Also consider coming to the NWOGEO Holiday Shindig if you're still in town.

Also, please check out my bookmark list, most of the caches are in OH and MI.

Some of my very favorite caches have been micros, but I usually don't enjoy them. I usually prefer normal sized caches.


I guess my preference would be caches that are in beautiful areas.

We have some clever micros in our area. However if you are looking for beautiful areas, I would suggest caches along the Maumee River where Perrysburg resides. Right across the river you can find some nice caches in the Sidecut Metro park.

Caches along the river from a couple miles downstream from Perrysburg, and upstream from Perrysburg to Grand Rapids are very scenic. Our Maumee River has a ton of history, that many of these caches highlight.

BBD's list is a great place to start. You could prune scenic areas from their list.

Try SQ - Star Trek

Also, at our Holiday Shindig, there will be at least 11 brand spankin' new "walk-in-the-woods-to-a-roomy-container" caches published that day, as well as several additional permanent caches made available that day which are not part of the game, should you be around that weekend.

[DiscGolfDiver]

I really appreciate the suggestions. Can I get a list of some of your favorite caches you guys have done in the mid-west.

I did Wood Duck last year, and I had just the greatest experience doing it. I have never seen as many deer at once, as I did that night.

[jslagle]

I maintain a favorites bookmark list on my account.

Find it here

If you are in the area for 3 weeks, then I'd be happy for another victim to visit SQ-Star Trek. Email for hints as necessary.

[DiscGolfDiver]

I definitely plan on doing SQ-Star Trek while I'm there. BarnacleBear already recommended it, and I'm excited to do it. I noticed on Google earth that it isn't too far from Wood Duck, and I'm excited. Sidecut park is my favorite area in Ohio.

Does anyone know of any covered bridges in the Midwest? I believe there are a few in PA and I am willing to drive, pretty much where ever to see some cool stuff. Sorry if I'm asking too many questions, I just really want to do this trip right.

Indiana have a cover bridge series.
