Geocache Description:

We have undertaken a large remodeling project with many of our caches in the Bemidji area and this is the first one completed. You are all invited to attend the open house which will be ongoing 24/7. You are looking for a small lock and lock box with a FTF dollar and a 2cnd to find geocoin.

Open House

It's been twenty years since we cleared the land and built our home here. The homestead helped us raise five wonderful children and supported us in our religious pursuits. There have been a lot of changes in that time, but, all in all, it’s been a good ride. As you search for the cache let me draw your attention to three things; The Fish Pole, The Tricacheanator Monument, and The Mailbox.

The Fish Pole
As our children grew up and left the nest we would sometimes become very lonely, so we erected this pole as a reminder of where they were living. Now everyday as we return home it serves as a visual reminder of how much we love them and as we pray for them the fish point in the direction the prayer should go.


The Tricacheanator Monument (GC1P5JV)
This monument stands next to the cache as a symbol of the gift geocaching has given us. This sport has brought the Netinator clan and the Fargnot clan closer together, introduced us to many new friends, and given you a path to follow. Take a few minutes to read the name of the teams that have completed the Tricachealon ordeal – they are friends. The bike seat is off my first real bike which my sister gave me, the boots are swampers that visited the confluence, the paddle was found on a small lake in Quetico during a Boy Scout trip, and the pole was puchased at Home Depot which supports our remodeling projects.

The Mailbox
The mailbox was the original container for the first homestead cache, it still stands as a symbol of the homestead we have grown to love over the years. It also serves to remind us of the changing world we live in and helps to draw our thoughts towards the important things of this life; our family, our faith, and our friends. Welcome to our sanctuary and may God bless you in your efforts.
