Okemos: 1874 Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

gardengurl: I always hate archiving good caches, but it's time for this one to go. The area where the final was located looks like it's being developed. Lots of trees have been cut down and piled high. The old rusty fencing that protected the cache has been gathered up. I could find no trace of the container.
It was a very difficult puzzle and not solved very often. I decided that rather than try to rework it, I will just say goodbye. Thanks to everyone who found it.
