Park at N 47° 21.976 W 094° 58.232 trailhead
You are looking for a cammoed 32 oz. container.
This area is beautiful anytime of year. You will be on a four wheeler trail. It is a steep grade. Our wee ones made it (the smallest being carried on the way up.) However, it is not easy. Bushwacking involved! Remember to wear blaze orange during the hunting season, there could be hunters around.
History: George W. Neilson, an entrepreneur who invested in a fledgling company that developed "Lavoris" mouthwash, worked and lived in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He, his wife and daughter spent most of their summers on property in northern Minnesota at Spearhead Lake, south of Bemidji. Mr. Neilson wanted to leave a legacy that would carry out his philosophy and those of his daughter, Katharine Neilson Cram (who died in 1999). In 1962, George Neilson established an irrevocable trust with an endowment of 1500 shares of 3M worth approximately $100,000. This trust was named the George W. Neilson Foundation. You can see the positive effects all over the Bemidji area.
