About this cache: The Lumber Jack monument oversees visitors coming and going from Exit-212 off of I-75. A representation of the lumbering era of days gone past when Michigan was known for its vast forests of white pine that helped rebuild the city of Chicago after the great fire of 1871. You are looking for a plastic ammo can tucked into an outer wooden box.
Thank you to the Ogemaw Heights High School Woodshop for the outer containers.
The inside ammo cans were painted by the Ogemaw Heights High School Art class, Surline Elementary School, Surline Middle School, Whittemore-Prescott School, Calvary Christian Academy, St.Joseph Catholic School and the Fourth Street Artists Gallery. Thank you all!
