Geocache Description:


A Solvable-On-Site cache. All the info you need is located at the posted coordinates.

Located in Heritage Park in River Falls. Plenty of parking and great access to the walking trail. You’ll also find a nice view of the Kinnickinnic River at this spot.

The posted coordinates will bring you to a historical sign describing the Greenwood Mills that once operated near this location as well as railroad service that ran through the area. Read both sides of the sign to gather up the information needed to get the final cache coordinates.

The FINAL coordinates are:

N44 51.AAA
W092 37.XXX

Where:

AAA = Year railroad line was extended to Ellsworth, minus 1343

XXX = Year the mill ceased operation after the flood, minus 1301

Cache is a bison tube just a short distance from this location. This can be a busy spot at certain times, so use stealth as needed. Please return cache as found to protect from muggles. Have fun!
