from Mosede Fort
The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.
Mosede Fort is part of a 14 mile line of fortifications built to protect greater Copenhagen and the Bay of Køge from German naval invasions. It was begun in 1913, completed by 1916, and fully manned until 1922, then used only for drills until 1939. The fort did not fare as well in World War II, as it was captured by the Nazis in 1940. After liberation, it was used by the Danish government as a detention camp and then for drills until 1970. Since then, it has been a public recreation area.

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.
