Geocache Description:

Take a look at this neat historic place!!!!

Don't attempt this on a muddy day!!!! Road is a dirt road. Bridge is ok to cross to the 2nd parking lot.

The cache is located on a trail leading to the mausoleum located on Nebraska Game and Parks Comission Land. This ground is open to hunting so please be careful during the rifle deer season in November. Cache is a large Ammo can painted brown. Lots of beginning stuff in this cache.

The mausoleum was hand-carved into a sandstone bluff by Nelson L. McDowell, a wealthy bachelor and son of J.B. McDowell, one of Fairbury's founders. Today the mausoleum shows the signs of many visitors who have left their own carvings. Nebraska Game and Parks Commission requests that visitors do not mark on the mausoleum walls to protect them for the future. Enjoy a beautiful view of three counties from nearby Lookout Mountain. Open during daylight hours.
