Not THAT Tired (Powerline Trail) Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

hault-Denger: The cache is gone. Utility work in the area has changed the terrain rating: it’s about a 2 now. Sad to see the landscape change, but probably necessary to keep the gas flowing. Power to the people!

A ten year run ain’t too shabby for a geocache. Thank you to everyone who came out to find this cache (or not) and especially those who left a log. Geocachers are a special breed of people. 🥾🥾

Geocache Description:

A short (10 minute) hike, off the paved trail in Valley Park in Mendota Heights. Use the Parking Area (waypoint listed below), accessible from Marie Avenue.

For your own safety and the safety of others,
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ACCESS THIS CACHE FROM
THE INTERSTATE I-35 FREEWAY

Trailhead (waypoint listed below) is right off the paved trail through the park. Remember, the most direct route is not always the best route! Bushwhacking is neither recommended, nor is it necessary. Follow the powerline trail. When you start up the trail you are not that tired, but by the time you get there you may just be bushed.

Avoid the pervasive thistles and burrs by staying to the game trails as much as possible. You will need to look up from your GPS unit from time to time. The cache is contained in a camouflaged capsule. While too small for most Travel Bugs, the cache container holds a write-in-rain logbook, a ballpoint pen, and can accommodate several small trade items and most geocoins.

Some stealth may be required, depending on the season, as the cache area can be partially visible from the main paved trail through the park. Please sign the log book while you are there. This geocache log is periodically verified, and any website cache log entries without a corresponding entry in the physical log will be deleted.

If you really enjoy this cache, please consider adding it to your Favorites.

Please re-hide the cache carefully, and Leave No Trace
