Geocache Description:

Quick P&G. BYOP.

In 1902 Hermantown got its second railroad. At this time there was a large sawmill in Scanlon and a line known as the Brooks-Scanlon Line was built in a northeasterly direction from Scanlon, crossing the D.M.& N. near Adolph and then across the high school property, northerly to the Brinteson property on the LaVaque Road where a large construction camp was set up. There was no real terminus to this road as it was built for the harvesting of wood products. Logs were shipped to Scanlon and ties, posts, etc. were switched over to the D.M.& N. at Adolph and from Kee-A-Wah Trail which was a part of the old right-of-way. This is Cache #12 on Kaylee's fabulous geocaching voyage that is the Hermantown History Tour.

The above information is taken from book "Hermantown 1874-1976" a history of Hermantown written by Art Fichtner and its citizens.
