Because you're in Harmony, in SE MN!
Originally hidden by cacher Fillmore Central (who was named
after the school district that Harmony is a part of along with the
towns of Preston and Fountain located to the NW of Harmony along US
Hwy 52), the Jackpot cache is located in what is now a Harmony park
and recreational area.
The building here used to be the Harmony Elementary School in
the days of the Harmony Cardinals. Now that Harmony is a part of
the Fillmore Central district, this building has since become the
city offices location and the town's public library.
The hide will provide you with a short hike that will take you
past a neat little park and into an open area that is known for its
use as a golfing practice range, and a wonderful spot for
exercising dogs and their owners, so be wary of flying golf balls,
and friendly dogs!
Not an overly difficult cache to find, but not quite a park and
grab either. Harmony is part of the SE MN Amish settlement, a
trailhead to the Harmony-Preston Valley bike trail, and Slim's
Woodshed - world famous for the world's largest collection of wood
carvings (and even woodcarving classes that bring in newbies as
well as seasoned veterans from all points of the compass!). Either
before or after finding the cache, I hope you'll take some time to
enjoy this wonderful little town who's name - according to town
legend - came about when town leaders were arguing vehemently over
various name options when one of the exasperated leaders stood up
and attempted to calm the loud prattle by exclaiming loudly, "LET
THERE BE HARMONY HERE!"
And so it was!
