Geocache Description:

This is an old road bed that reverted back to the land owners when highway O was rerouted. I did get permission from the land owner to place this cache, however, the land to the west is posted, so please do not wander in that direction.

Do not park along highway 29, you will find parking at;


N 44 56.855 W 089 46.078


The land to the west of the old road bed, as well as the road bed further out from the cache location, is private property owned by someone else. Please do not explore west or south of a reasonable distance from ground zero. You need to approach this cache from the north. The amount of work needed to cut the road through this rock hill, seems now to have been wasted. But was it? One of the proposals to finish highway 29 as a 'freeway', is to revert highway O back to it's original route here, with an overpass across highway 29.

I've placed a large ammo box here, amongst the rocks, packed with nice trading items, including kids shirt/hat combinations from Gander Mountain, collected from my 4 years of geocache shopping. It seems that I find too many things to place into other caches, especially with all the micro caches out there. This is the cache I'm placing that you can bring the kids or newbie cachers along, to show what a 'treasure hunt' this can be. You are not required to trade evenly. Take more value than you leave, but still trade on a 1 for 1 basis! Please post your trades online so I know when to restock.

Thanks to Mathman for this ammo box
