Geocache Description:


PLEASE PARK AT N 35 DEGREES 55.445 W 83 59.427 , THEN WALK TO THE CACHE COORDINATES. NOW ABOUT THE CACHE. The smoke stack described below was demolished in May 2015 as was the Lakeshore Mental Health Institute that served the area for many years.

This smoke stack has been here for over 100 years and is a landmark of Lakeshore Park that can be seen for miles. Though no longer functioning, many bits of coal attest to its former use, and this smoke stack is a site of historical interest just behind the Victorian headquarters building of the Mental Institution. PLEASE WERE LONG PANTS BECAUSE POISON IVY HAD BENN FOUND AROUND THE AREA. Put back exactly as found. Happy Hunting.

2/2/23 Update Moved a little closer to parking area. Cache is fairly large, log container is not. 1/20/25 Update Moved away from tree due to overgrowth. Can access from top of wall.
