This cache is near Thunder Lake which was the home to Rhinelander's
Thunder Lake Lumber Company back in the 1920's.
Not far from this cache is where the narrow gauge R/R came into
Rhinelander.
There is a model railroad of what Rhinelander was like in the
1920's at Rhinelander's Pioneer Park. It is in the Basement of the
Railroad Museum. If you have time to see it there is no charge.
There is a Rhinelander Railroad Association that you could
join.
I found this information sign about the
Narrow Gauge Rail Road that the Thunder Lake Lumber Company used to
haul logs to the Mill. I was hiking in the area and stumbled upon
what I thought was an old Rail Road Grade. When I found this sign
my suspicions were confirmed. It's amazing what I have learned just
from Geocaching.
