Geocache Description:

This cache is located in St. Anthony's Wilderness. The cache is hidden along the Watertank Trail. The Watertank Trail is marked with blue blazes.

There are people who enjoy caches placed in parking lots, and there are people who prefer more remote locations. I say whatever you enjoy that is what you should be doing. This cache is for those who prefer the more remote location, free from muggles. Findng the cache should be fairly easy, getting to it will require some physical effort. When you find the cache there isn't a great view, there are no special FTF prizes, just a painted ammo box with some trade items for your enjoyment. While at GZ, sit for awhile and listen to the birds, the breeze blowing through the trees, a squirrel forging for food, for me this is what remote geocaching is about. Be sure to use the coordinates for the trail head, there used to be sign for the trail but that is no longer there. I used my bike then hiked the rest of the way, it’s about a 5 mile round trip. This cache is on State Game Lands 211, be sure to wear the required safety clothing when necessary. The Watertank Trail is marked with blue blazes, at times the trail is well definded, at other times it may be difficult to follow. I checked the coordinates several times, contact me if you find the coordinates need adjusted.
