Geocache Description:

DNR maintained area – Overlook, picnic tables and nice trail paths.

Dead Man’s Hill reaches a high point of 1,257 feet, earned its name during the logging era at the turn of the century. The steep hills made the area a treacherous place to log and several fatal accidents occurred. The last known and most remembered was in 1910. “Big Sam” Graczyk, a twenty-one year old lumberjack, soon to be married, was killed while driving a team of horses and a big wheel of logs down a steep slope near here. Consequently, the name for the ridge stuck.

A trail can be taken to the cache. Involves some up & down hills. Last leg a short distance off trail. Cache is an ammo box, buried almost to lid. It is covered with forest debris and should not be visible.

Please, do not place any edibles of any type (including gum) in cache so as to not encourage critters. Please return the cache to its covered, concealed & secure condition where you found it. Do not post pictures of the cache that will give away its hiding spot…or the cache hiding spot without the cache… or pictures of the hint, with your logged posting. Any logs or pictures that do will be deleted without notice.
