Minnehaha Flat Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

46 Zulu 50: Well, I guess if you can't find a cache that hasn't been found in a while, you mark it as needing archived instead of notifying the C/O that is was a DNF. I'll get out there soon and have a look, in the meantime, it's gone.

Geocache Description:

Deserted now, the area known as Minnehaha Flat, was once a thriving settlement on the western slope of the Bradshaw Mountains.

Located on the western slope of the Bradshaw Mountains and named after the Minnehaha Mine, this spot served as many things for the early expansion of mining in the area. It has been a mining town, a farm, a cattle ranch, a supply stop, and a sawmill.

Minnehaha, located on FR 362, can be reached from Wagoner (near Kirkland Junction) or the Senator Highway. Either of these access routes are good roads.

Those out for more of an off-road 4WD challenge can find Minnehaha via the Crown King Trail or the Walker Gulch route, driving north from Castle Creek.

The cache is a camouflaged plastic jug, located on a hillside at the south end of the flat, near an old building, known as the Lapham Place.
