Shingobee Hill Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

MN.Fruitcake: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

***NOTE: If you have any questions, do not reply to the archive note email. Click on the link to go to the cache page and click on my name in the archive log at the bottom of the page. You can then send me an email regarding the cache. Please send me a link to the cache in question so I will know which cache it is regarding. I will not see notes posted to this cache page once it is archived.

Thanks for your understanding,

Geocache Description:

NorthStarGeoSeekers
Located at Shingobee Recreation Area. Lots of hiking trails(cross country ski trails in the winter months).

This is a multi-stage cache. Located about halfway between Walker and Akeley on Highway 34. Turn into parking area at N47°02.158', W094°38.829 . Proceed to first stage at N47°02.207', W094°38.594 . Once you're at the first stage, look towards the bottom of the hill and to the right. There is a building there (chalet). Note the color of the building. The number of letters in the color will be designated as X (for instance, blue would be X=4, brown would be X=5, etc.) Now, plug the number into the following formula to find the final stage. N47°02.[X-3][X][X-2]', W094°38.[X][X-3][X+1]' The cache is a full size ammo container and contains a log book/pen, FTF dollar and the usual swag. Very popular spot in the winter. Bring a sled and hang on for dear life.
