Enjoy the scenic drive on M-37 along vineyards and orchards till you reach the tip of the Old Mission Peninsula. At the end of M-37 you will find parking at N 44 59.423 W 085 28.815 The cache is about 1.43 miles (direct route) from the parking lot. The cache is a regular size ammo box located near the shoreline on the East Bay.
Recieved from geocacher mathews1z7 on 3/3/10, looks like Peppermintpatti was right in an older log..
."Hi there i was going to tell you what i know about the house like cottage thing on east bay. It use to be a old pump house. Back in the day they use to use that as a house for the pump. If you go straight west up the hill you will find an old electrical box. That is how they use to turn the pump on and off. I have spent a good amount of time hunting down there and my grampa gives me lots of info about it and other things around the north end of the peninsula".
To avoid a higher terrain rating (BIG HILL) I would suggest you try GCWTPE Stormy Weather cache on the way in and hike south along the shoreline. There are many glacial rocks along this route that you can enjoy on your hike. I found this structure last spring while hunting for those famous Morrel mushrooms. It consists of four cement walls with three window openings and a doorway and no roof overhead. Modern day conveniences include a central heating cooking area (fire pit) along with two plywood sheet beds that sit up on rocks. The walls look like they were made over a period of time evidenced by the lines and layers in the concrete walls. My guess, is that it was a local farmers cottage on the bay un till it was turned into part of the park lands.
The cache is filled with nice trading items. First to Find Prize is a 1984 United States Coin Proof Set.
I hope you enjoy your visit to this great place and your stay at the Old Mission Bed & Breakfast.
First to Find was lost in the woods, he really earned it with knee deep snow on the ground.
