Geocache Description:

Winter accessible, will take a little hunting though. located on the bike trail near Bovey, Minnesota. The cache is a rubbermaid container.

The Canisteo mine is a closed mine that is filling with water. There is no outlet so it has now caused the closing of tracks near the mine that pass over a trestle not far from this cache. Currently the Mine Reclamation Planning board is looking at a solution to controling the level of the water. A siphon system is the current consideration. It is an easy cache to reach by the bike trail and not far off the trail. It also is easy to hike to the site also. As you pass the trestle on the way to the site, you will see the mine full of water behind the trestle.

This is another cache for those who cannot or just prefer not to do the more difficult ones. The cache contains an interesting assortment of new items. Have fun
