Geocache Description:

You will be looking for a smaller green rubber maid type container near Paul Bunyan's anchor.

Legend has it that Paul Bunyan was mighty in the sport of fishing as in all else. He picked Minnesota for most of his fishing and is credited with creating more than a few of it's ten thousand lakes.

Big Stone lake , visible here to the north-west, and the staes 10th largest was one of Paul's favorites, not only for the variety and size of it's fish, but because here he found a stone heavy enough to anchor his mammoth boat. Squared roughly from the region's famous granite, it weighed 110 tons.

This legendary boat-anchor was re-discovered on the eve of Minnesota's statehood centennial, 1958. Only a stone's throw (for Paul) of 2 1/2 miles from the foot of the lake. Though not as easy for 20th century technology to handle as it had been for Paul. It was hoisted forthwith to this hilltop site for a memento of the state's 100th Birthday.
