A quick drive-by cache on hwy 44 near an interesting stone struture
The Chimney was a marker on the road to friends' cottages as a kid. Now that we have our own cottage, my family and I compete to see who can be the first to spot the chimney, as it means we're nearly at the lake.
I have long been intrigued by this stone structure that stands alongside hwy 44. I wondered who built and and why. Other such "chimney's" have been discovered in the Whiteshell area and no one knows what the purpose of these sometimes well-built structures were and who took the time to build them. Various people have speculated that they were used to store dynamite for the railroad, but they are often built too far away and over too difficult a terrain to have been used for this purpose. Others wonder if they were used for fires, but no carbon residue is found in them. This particular one was vandalized a few years ago and is now much shorter than it has been.
I have long wanted to highlight this interesting and mysterious structure and add a cache along hwy 44.
The cache should be a quick stop and is a small thermos for smaller items. It contained a log book and pencils, a few key chains and our own dolphy blue TB to get it started. Be carefull stopping along the highway and happy hunting.
