This cache is located near Discovery Site 19.0 of The Edge of the Wilderness Scenic Byway (Minnesota State Highway 38).
From an interpretive sign on the west side of Hwy 38: “At the height of the Great Depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt formed the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) to provide jobs and restore the environment. Nationally, the CCC program cost $3 billion. It removed 15 million families from the welfare rolls and employed 3 million young men. [Ole's father was one of them.] In Minnesota, $85 million was spent and 84,000 enrollees participated… The Day Lake CCC Camp was one of 20 camps established in Minnesota during the Great Depression… Day Lake CCC Camp was one of only 6 that lasted past the CCC era. It became one of the 4 camps in the Chippewa National Forest that housed German prisoners of war during World War II (1943-1945)."
