Wis Kid: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

Fountain City is located on a bend in the Mississippi River, where it flows right at the base of some of the highest bluffs along the river. Originally called Holmes' Landing, after Thomas Holmes, who settled here in 1839 and traded with the Sioux and Chippewa tribes, riverboats would stop at the landing to take on firewood, as well as water from springs not far from the river, leading to the name of Fountain City.

Cache is located in a small city park with a fountain, benches and a historical marker. You are looking for a black key holder. Please replace exactly as found.
