A short walk, then what?
Park at: N44 24.759 W093 18.084 and read the sign. Read and remember the YEAR that this hardwood forest reforestation project was done - you will need that number to unlock the treasure found in the Forest Castle dungeon.
From parking, traverse the open, being careful not to damage the developing forest. Castles are often protected by open grassland, developing and established forest, DEEP & WIDE moats, and magical charms which may throw off tracking devices. Even if you can get to the castle, any treasure there is often locked in the dungeon, and may be protected by monsters. For those brave (or foolish) enough to finish the quest, there are unactivated geocoin prizes for FTF, STF, and Third to Find.
Due to the protections guarding this treasure, it may well be easiest to appoach in the dead of winter.
