Geocache Description:

Cache is magnetic.
Parking is limited. And you need to be stealthy.
Located in Mounds City, IL.


During the Civil War, the naval depot of the Western river fleet was located at Mounds City. Here, the keels of 3 of the famous Eads ironclad gunboats were laid and a large force of workmen were employed to keep the fleet in fighting trim. The Marine Ways, still in operation, are 400 yards south of here.
