The cache IS at the posted coordinates. Having said that, this is a CHALLENGE cache and has special requirements.
There are a lot of fizzy challenges in Minnesota--multiples, only with certain cache types, with the dangerous area attribute, etcetera. I wanted something a little simpler. Since many of us live closer to Iowa than most of Minnesota, I thought this would be a reasonable choice.You may sign the log at any time, but in order to log a find, you must have found all 81 D/T combinations only using caches you've found in Minnesota or Iowa.
Groundspeak now requires all cache owners to qualify for their own caches. According to project-gc, I do.

One of the oldest roads in the state, Fort Road was originally built by the federal government after Fort Ridgely was completed in 1853-54. Supplies were shipped from Fort Snelling to Traverse des Sioux, then transported by wagon to Fort Ridgely.
Nicollet County Road 5 runs more than 42 miles from its eastern terminus at its intersection with US Highway 169 in St Peter to the Renville County line. Old Fort Road presumably extended from Traverse des Sioux, although the portion running through the campus of Gustavus Adolphus College has been blocked off. Fort Road as an address runs from the western edge of St Peter to the end of CR-5.
In an ideal world, a paved trail would have been installed when the road was refurbished in the early 2010s. This planned geocache trail will have to suffice, but won’t alleviate my anxiety when biking here.
