The cache is hidden near a concrete structure on the northern edge of the town of Sutter. The structure caught my eye due to the year "1937" etched into it.
In 1937 the zeppelin Hindenburg crashed upon landing in NJ, thus ending transatlantic travel by rigid airship. Amelia Earhart disappeared over the Pacific while attempting an around-the-world flight.
