Geocache Description:

This cache was placed with permission from the Morton County Water Board. I spoke with a Morton County Commissioner and with the chairman of the Water Board, I am grateful for their support.

The Morton County Harmon Lake Recreation Area is already a jewel, and it's only going to get better based on the plans being made for it (see more info at (visit link) then click on Morton County Parks link). You can hike in on the trail or take your bike, either way you'll definitely enjoy the landscape and views. I would suggest you bring along a camera. Please note that the trail is only for hiking and biking, no horses or motorized vehicles. If you see trash please help keep this area attractive, please practice CITO, thanks.

After getting over to this cache I felt like I had been on the South Beach diet. We're on the south side of Harmon Lake here, but there is no beach that I'm aware of, sorry if I got you excited. I almost named this cache something like "The Old Oak Tree" as there is a beautiful oak tree just a bit downslope of the cache location. This is a really neat area so take time to check it out. This cache was placed a short distance downhill from the trail. I would not recommend go after this cache in the winter, as it will be difficult to find and you may not make it back up the slope. The distance from what I call the north trail head (near the camping area) is about 4.6 miles. The cache container is ye ol' ammo can, with lots of good swag in it. Be sure to bring your own writing instrument even though when placed there was a pencil in the cache. Please be sure to arrange the can as you found it, thanks.

Happy caching and enjoy!
