About this cache:This cache is located at the Kosciusko County Visitors Center and, according to geocachers who have already visited, is in one of the coolest geocache containers ever! While you are caching, take a few minutes to stop in the Visitor Center and check out information on the area and on the entire state of Indiana. The Visitor Center is a great resource for visitors to Indiana. Whether it is your first visit or you have been to Indiana countless times, there are always new things to learn about in our great state.
Kosciusko County is such a beautiful area. It is a mostly rural county with only one community large enough to be classified a city. Fields of corn and soybeans greet the visitor from just about every angle. But don't be fooled ... there's way more than corn in Indiana (and in Kosciusko County!).
Kosciusko County is home to over 100 lakes including Indiana's largest nature lake, Lake Wawasee, and Indiana's deepest lake, Tippecanoe Lake.
Kosciusko County is also home to the world headquarters of five large orthopedic manufacturers, earning it the title Orthopedic Capital of the World. Orthopedic implements made right here in Kosciusko County are sent around the world; Olympic Gymnast Mary Lou Retton and the late Pope John Paul II both received implements manufactured right here in Kosciusko County. Little Crow Foods, makers of CoCo Wheats cereal and Fryin Magic, started operations in 1903 in Kosciusko County and have been making their products here even since. Louis Dreyfus, in Claypool, is the world's largest bio-diesel fuel plant.
So take some time to slow down in Kosciusko County. Our small town values and rural charm will bring you back again and again.
This cache was formerly called the Travel Bug Visitors Center. It's still a great place to drop Travel Bugs!
