Geocache Description:

***October of 2016 cache was adopted by blackdogsMT*** This Cache is located about 150 yards off the road past the slash piles and 2 small dirt barriers so no one can drive back there. Please park at the turnout and walk to final destination. Please keep in mind that you are in bear country and be alert.

Take Highway 93 to Dayton, Montana. Turn West from Dayton towards Lake Mary Ronan. Follow this road till you get to a curve to the right with a sign that says Camp Tuffit with a road going to the left. This will be about 5.9 miles from hwy 93. After turning left at the sign, there will be a turnout about 40 yards up at Coordinates N 47 55.142----W 114 22.287. Park there and walk north to the final destination. It is about 150 to 200 yards from where you park. <br><br>

You can camp, swim, hike, fish on shore or from a boat at Lake Mary Ronan. This lake is a fisherman's dream so take your pole and spend the day or even the weekend. The area provides a quiet opportunity to pick huckleberries, service berries, hunt mushrooms, and spot interesting birds, wildflowers and wildlife. We seen many Cormorants and even a Bald Eagle. <br><br>
