Welcome to St. Ellen’s mine. This cache is located in St. Ellen’s Mine Park in a small area of forest behind the asphalt trail. After a short walk you will come to some woods where you will pass under a fence. The fence and the area behind it is part of the park and the cache has been placed with permission from the O'Fallon Park Service.
This cache is placed in commemoration of a previous cache called St. Ellen’s Mine owned by SwimFin, BAJA Clan, Mbckcannon, and Javapgmr. Since I started geocaching this has been one of my favorite locations. I still remember coming here in the middle of the summer and bushwhacking through neck high thorns to make my way to ground zero. The terrain on this cache can be as difficult as a four during the summer months. Please be careful and we hope you enjoy!
