Geocache Description:

Hidden Falls North Gate. Parking in lot in park.

There are slightly addended coordinates as the area has changed over the last 16 years. Basically in the same spot. Look for beacons.

Just a regular old cache. An appreciable cammo styled screw top plastic jug. Bring some items and please message me right away if the cache needs attention as I'll be visiting often this summer in hopes of making this our first "large" offering. This one has been in the family for a long time so enjoy.

In 1912, the first assembly and sales activities were started in a former warehouse in Minneapolis[1] by Ford Motor Company. By 1925, the Twin Cities Assembly Plant had relocated next to the Mississippi River in the Highland Park neighborhood of St. PaulMinnesotaUnited States. It was in operation from 1925 to 2011. At the time of its closure, it was the oldest Ford plant still in operation.

The plant's final products were the Ford Ranger pickup truck. Previously, the plant had manufactured the Ford Model TModel TT truck, Sportsman convertibleGalaxie, and LTD.

In 2006, Ford officials announced plans to close the factory, though it operated for three years past the 2008 closure date initially announced. The plant's final truck was completed on December 16, 2011. Most of the buildings have been demolished since then.
