This multicache will give you the chance to learn Sartell's paper mill history and will bring you to great views of the Mississippi River, the Sartell dam, the old, historic bridge and the bridge that replaced it. At stage 1, you must complete a simple field puzzle where all numbers will be on the metal mural of the paper mill, above the gears.
