To find the cache at this school, you will drive into a valley and will have to travel uphill in either direction when leaving the site! Hence, this cache is NOT Winter Friendly! It is also a field puzzle. T=Terrain - 1.5; S=Size - Regular; D=Difficulty - 2.5. You will need to find an ammo can with a twist, then use the items inside to figure out the combination. When we were here, we noticed it really is uphill both ways from school - just like your parents and grandparents said!
Built in 1885, the country school building for Walsh County District No. 70 (locally known as Hoff School) is typical of many one-room school buildings. It is situated very near the boundary line between Norton and Vesta townships, in a sheltered area close to the juncture of two coulees, or drainage swales, feeding the north branch of the Forest River. Where the coulee slopes upward toward the north, the school building is tucked into the trees adjoining a belt of natural timber land along and through which school children once walked a distance of up to a mile or two to attend school. Inside and out, the school building is in a near-original state of maintenance and preservation. The building is not open to the public.
