This cache has been archived.

-Tiki-: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

Location is at an old cemetary off of Calumet and Hecla streets. This cache could be considered handicap accessible if there is an assistant. The trail is similar to a 2 track, minimal bushwacking needed, and a pleasant walk. Parking is at the coordinates below:
N 47 14.007
W 088 26.852

The cache is a coffee canister, and included some general trading items and a log book.

Take a moment and look around while chasing down the cache. After all isn't that what caching is all about, being taken places you've never been before.

This is an old cemetary in town that i just recently learned about. Some of the stones have yet to be found, others are found and unreadable, some are defaced by vandals, and some are in other languages including Finnish, Slavik. I find these types of cemetary's interesting as you can learn so much about the past of an area.
