As you look to the North you will see a large building.
(behind the locked gate that leads to it)
At first I thought this was a closed school or college.
No, that building is the "Cedar County Home" building.
A home for the mentally insane / insane asylum.
Established in 1850 and closed in 2006.
This is a picture looking out of one of the windows.
Notice this cemetery to the left.
More pictures of the inside and outside of this facility can be seen HERE.
The Cache should be a pretty easy find.
You will be looking for a nice camouflaged bison container.
Good Luck and have fun!
