Geocache Description:


This cache is hidden in Inver Grove Heights at the Rich Valley Athletic Complex. Nearby is a nice playground to take the kids and then search for this cache. This park can be extremely busy, particularly on summer evenings. Please use stealth and make sure that none of the cache is exposed upon replacement.

The historic abandoned schoolhouse is the white building marked as an additional waypoint. In 1871, the little school near St. Patrick's Church burned down, and a this building was erected and identified as District #9. It served the community until 1936, when a new school was erected under the Works Progress Administration. Theodore Christian bought the original school house and moved it across the street to his farm where it still stands today.

Congrats to TJnAJ for the FTF!!!
