Geocache Description:


I heard a rumor about a fairly unique, mostly unknown area and got details on location. Hmm. NO caches anywhere near it. A plan began to develop, and it was looking a lot like the Long Lonesome Highway series: some planned stops along a route with, hopefully, some surprises on the way. I got all that, and more.

I didn't really wanna use the same theme, but it was a lot of driving just to get where I wanted to start: Highway 60 West, leaving Mankato. A local classic rock station was playing AC/DC "Highway to Hell" and although I didn't choose it, that song became the theme.

Somewhere I made a wrong turn, exiting Highway 60 and entering Highway 666.






Continuing on the unbelievably long stretch of cache-poor highway. My main focus was on Cottonwood County. Traveling north, then east, and saw a County Park sign which did not sound familiar. This was a major bonus stop, and a very cool area. The evil is increasing: It pushed me out of Cottonwood County. Can I find my way to Hell?




Mound Creek County Park

Three hundred acres of rolling hills, prairie, and a 70-acre reservoir lake highlight the landscape of this park, which is located in the SW corner of Brown County. The most unique feature is seeing the open waterfalls that flow over bedrock outcroppings during high water periods. The waterfall is only a short hike from the parking area.


Camping: None
Picnic area: Two shelters, picnic tables, grills, and vault toilets are provided.
Water recreation: A concrete boat ramp provides boating and fishing access to the reservoir, while a small, sandy beach provides swimming access to the same waters.
Trails: Three miles of trails are provided.
Seasons: The park is open from April 15 to October 15.
