The state of Wisconsin purchased farmsteads
in the area to make Yellowstone Lake and Yellowstone State Park. In
the interest of safety, the homesteds were torn down. Because of
the construction of this root cellar, it escaped demolition.
Homesteaders kept vegetables grown during the summer in root
cellars for the winter months. The root cellar of this homestead is
located in a hillside. It is covered with dirt. Over time, weeds
and trees have hidden the top of the root cellar.
Parking is located in a small lot on public
access land. The public, one-lane car path goes along private
property for a short ways. The coordinates for parking are N42
45.765 W90 00.276. The cache can be reached by following a snow
mobile path. The path is covered with grass during the
summer.
You do not have to bushwhack to find this cache. The path, which
loops around from behind to in front of the cellar, will take you
to about 10 feet from the cache location. So you need to be able to
see the entrance of the root cellar to your right from the path
before you leave the trail. You are looking for a small camo'ed
tupperware container.
