About This Cartridge

Below you is Camp Dodge the home to the Iowa National Guard. Original construction of the post began in 1907, to provide a place for the National Guard units to train. In 1917, the installation was handed over to national authorities and greatly expanded to become a regional training center for forces to participate in the First World War.

The name Camp Dodge comes from Brigadier General Grenville M. Dodge, who organized Iowa's first National Guard unit in 1856. Although not a native-born Iowan, he became a well-known figure and resided within the state for most of his adult life. He is considered a War hero for his service and also served a term as a U.S. Congressman representing the state.

Along with the numerous National Guard units located at Camp Dodge, the post is also home to the National Maintenance Training Center, Joint Forces Headquarters, Iowa's emergency operations center, and the State Police academy.

This wherigo is two stages.

Liked being able to get up close and personal with some older military hardware. The cartridge ran without a problem on my Garmin Oregon 450.

Plenty of people enjoying the machinery. Of course kids playing all over them, and one group was, I assume, doing dog training as one would hide a treat on one of the tanks and then let the dog find it. They did that several times. We just worked around them liked they worked around us.

Nice view up here!

It took some careful looking to correctly identify the info we needed. Then when we reached the final area we were blocked from getting to the cache by a few feet of water and a large snake swimming in it. Completed the Wherigo though.
