Geocache Description:

This cache is part of the Pvt. George Shannon Trail caches that will lead you throughout Northeastern Nebraska. Pvt. Shannon became lost near here while traveling with Lewis and Clark and the Corp of Discovery in 1804.
 

"It might be noted that Gary Moulton reports Shannon lost on August 27, the day the party reached the James River. Shannon rejoined them in what is now Gregory County, South Dakota. The party frequently blazed trees to let the hunters know they had passed a certain point with the boots. John Colter had been sent at least twice to find Shannon, then George Drouillard, carrying extra rations, for it was assumed that by that time Shannon would be in need of them. Lewis would himself later make the mistake of thinking the main party was ahead of him."  taken from an article "About Pvt Shannon"

At certain times of the year GZ might be a little difficult to get to, therefore the higher terrain rating.
