If you can fix or verify that this cache is still in place it can be easily unarchived provided the location is still available and still meets the cache hiding guidelines. For now I am going to archive it. Feel free to contact me through my profile linked below if you fix it.

NOTE: If you have any questions, do not reply directly to this email. Instead, send me an email via my geocaching.com profile. Please include a link to the cache in question so I will know which cache it is regarding.

Geocache Description:

The cache container is a large (gallon size) plastic jar. Cache removed to dry contents on 7/16/2009. Plan to replace in a few days.

Geocache set by The Minnesota Society of Professional Surveyors (MSPS).

Land Surveyors may use modern GPS receivers and robotic total station survey instruments, but they must also understand the history of the Public Land Survey.

To show the link between the past and present surveys, our Geocache is near a corner set in the original survey of 1855. In Minnesota scans of the Township Plat or maps of the Public Land Survey are online and a link is shown to the Plat of Township 119, Range 21. The positions of the monuments set in the origional surveys are maintained by the County Surveyor, in this case, the Hennepin County Surveyor.

This cache is a large plastic jar hidden near a meander corner on the south line of Section 35, Township 119 North, Range 21 West.
The meander corner is marked by a cast iron monument and a fence post with a marker sign.
