Geocache Description:

NEW CO-ORDINATES AS OF 06/19/2005

Located within the city of Ely, Minnesota. I WILL DELETE ANY SPOILERS(LOGS/PICTURES) THAT INDICATE WHERE THE CACHE IS LOCATED.


The container is a small cammo taped plastic jar with a log book and room for a small travelbug. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE FOOD OR LIGHTERS IN THE CONTAINER

Optional: It would be fun to read in the log or on the cache page why you are in Ely-(not required)

The city of Ely was founded in 1888. It was first named Florence, after Capt. Pengilly's daughter, but because there was already a town with that name, on April 23, 1888 it was changed to Ely for Sam P. Ely, a mining engineer from Ishpeming, Michigan,who never visited Ely.

My grandfather settled here in 1889.

THE CACHE IS DEFINITELY OUTSIDE THE BUILDING. You may go into the building,only through the main door,if it is open and get tourist information.
