Geocache Description:

Elevation 3856 , some bushwacking, FTF $5.00 If the road to Trillium Lake is open you can get to this cache!!!

A lodge was here at one time popular in the 1920.People would bathe in the natural hot springs and Swim had it's own zip code until 1936.As you come to the site you will see old remnits of a dam that was used to make a pool and you will also see the foundation of the old lodge. Between the lodge foundation and the old pool is a tree with a wagon tongue , it is a grave marker.
The whole problem with this fabulous getaway was it was a total lie there were no natural hot springs they were heating them with a fire . I could have put it by the lodge but I found all the old remains of the fire place that heated the water and the pipes that carried it and that is where the cache is.For a hint look at the spoiler photo
