GC13QDZ Mile 43: Darn Near (Traditional Cache) in Minnesota, United States created by Da Bloodhound

Da Bloodhound: I'm sorry to all that searched for this hide in the current jungle conditions GZ presents. When hidden under a couple inches of pine needles in a grove of pristine pines fourteen years ago this was a tough but fair hide. No more it seems so I'm pulling the plug on Zuma's birthday tribute.

Geocache Description:

This part of Minnesota with the Mighty Mississippi and the magnificent river bluffs has long been a favorite of mine. I hope you enjoy the area as much as I do.

Cache is located in the Richard J. Dorer Memorial Hardwood State Forest, Kruger Campground and Day Use Area, which is located just off of County Highway 81 south-west of Wabasha, Minnesota. This area is open during the summer from 6 am to 10 pm daily. The area is rustic with camp sites, trails, pit toilets and a hand pump to supply potable water. There is no fee for access but there is a daily charge for camping.

This cache is part of the "Miles" series of caches. I say a series, but they are all only very loosely linked. The miles are the number of miles they are from Zuma's house and they all obtain a clue to find HBZ 51. To obtain the last 5 digits of the north coordinates for HBZ 51 you must add up the clues found in the caches Mile 1 through Mile 25. To obtain the last 5 digits of the west coordinates you must add up all of the clues found in the caches Mile 26 through Mile 50. HBZ 51 was placed by WI_Robin, but the caches you must find to get to it are a coordinated effort of many local cachers. Happy Birthday Zuma!

All rules and regulations with regard to cache placement in a Minnesota State Forest were followed when placing this cache. Take only memories and leave only footprints.
