Man the Walls. This might have been the cry of early settlers keeping vigil at Fort Juelson as they awaited the Indian attack that never came. Enjoy the wildflowers and native prairie as you walk to the remains of the sod Fort the early settlers built to protect themselves. Take in the view for miles in every direction. Note the silo to the North which is on the homestead of Hans Juelson for whom the fort is named. The cache is in two parts close together so you can walk the perimeter of the old fort and mowed cross trails while you search for the cache hide. Another hint for second larger part are in the first cache for the coordinates. The first to find got an autographed copy of the book on history of Fort Juelson written by the first president of the Friends of Fort Juelson, Clifford S. Knutson, who was instrumental in promoting the idea of preserving this historic site. He also did the work to place this cache and secured permission for its placement on this site. There is also room for several other smaller items of SWAG in the two containers so exchange what you wish. A gun used to defend the Fort is also on display at the Otter Tail County Historical Society in Fergus Falls. Additional copies of the book on the hstory of Fort juelson are also for sale at the OTCHS in Fergus Falls.
The site will become rather difficult once the snow comes. it is very easy in spring before the grass gets high.
