This cache is located on one of the many great hiking trails in Hoeft State Park. Grab a map at the gate house. They are a great help. There are 24 caches within the park and many more nearby.
This cache is in a six inch plastic tube, decorated with camo-tape and the ubiquitous MIGO sticker. There is room for only small trade items. Once you find the rock, the cache is directly behind it. Please rehide the cache so that it is not visible from the trail.
