Geocache Description:

The coordinates are for the parking only. You must find the first seven caches on the Davis Mine Loop Trail in order to find the final.

All of the caches are off the trail about 20-30 feet.

The Davis Mine Loop Trial is three-miles round trip unless you have a second vehicle that you can park at the other trailhead sign to eliminate a .75 walk back to your car on Davis Mine Road.


Davis Mine Loop Trail is primarily used for cross-country skiing. It is also used as a snowmobile trail in the winter. No ATV’s or off road vehicles are allowed on the trail.

The trail is relatively flat with a few small hills. There is lots of small tree stumps on the trail causing trip hazards so watch your step especially in the fall when the trial is covered with leaves. During certain times of the year the trail can be very muddy. The backside of the trail is a swamp where moose have been seen.

As you are finding the seven Davis Mine Loop caches write down the letter and number off the lid of each cache. You will use the numbers and letters you gathered from the seven Davis Mine Loop caches to plug into the formula (provided on the Davis Mine Loop Final cache page) to get the coordinates for the Davis Mine Loop Final cache.

All eight caches on the Davis Mine Loop Trail surround our Rob’s View cache so either before or after doing the Davis Mine Loop Trail you should check out Rob’s View.

Hunting is allowed in this area so use caution and wear orange.

Use the following formula to find the final cache. Replace all the letters with the numbers you retrieved off the cache lids.

42*AB.ABC
072*DB.EFG

Good luck and happy caching!
