The official geocaching blog, Latitude 47, has identified a cache in Iowa as it’s geocache of the week. 49 and Holding the Cache, located in Pella, Iowa is centrally located in the Midwest for anyone who may be driving through, not far off course of Interstate 80. The cache holds the most favorite points in the state, and there is not a traditional geocache within almost sixty points.

A geocacher who logged this cache writes, “To say this is the best geocache I’ve ever seen would be an understatement. This is mind-bogglingly fantastic! The creativity, work, money, craftsmanship, and awesomeness that has been put into this cache is just plain amazing… I’ve seen and made a few pretty darn cool caches, but this one takes the cake.”

River Action, a non-profit organization along the Mississippi River in Iowa and Illinois has added Geocaching to it’s list of activities. The series of caches are tied in with a Riverway Audio tour, making the game more interactive and educational. There are currently five caches that have been hidden by the group, three in Iowa and two in Illinois. These could make for some fun targets for those traveling on I-80 or I-74. Each container is loaded with a First to find (FTF) coin.
