This is our first attempt at a puzzle cache. Hopefully, it is not too lame or not too hard. Either way, I hope you have fun with it.

When I was young, my neighbor (Name withheld) was my best friend. One of the things we liked to do was go to the railroad tracks and Place coins on the rails to see if we could find them after a passing train would smash them.

We never did find most of them, but we did find a few.

Since that time, the Great Northern Railway abandoned their Properties, and it became one of the first rails to trails system.

Before the trail was paved, we used to go down the road from our parents' house and watch the annual snowmobile race sponsored by the Eagles Club that used this trail for most of it's course.

The Jpg picture of the tree above is where the cache is hidden. It is actually in this tree. You just have to find the tree. You may get lucky and actually see it to retrieve the cache, but here is the puzzle part of the cache to help you out:

N 15, 10° 8, 23 . 15, 2, 34
W 18, 32, 8° 18, 30 . 8, 33, 23

Good luck and happy caching.
