Geocache Description:

Located near the remains of Fountain Cave

A while back, 15Tango hid a cache that highlighted this small overlooked piece of St. Paul History.

Since then, that cache was archived due to the final stage floating down river. I enjoyed the history of this spot enough that I really wanted to see another cache placed here.

I could tell you about the cave and what happened to it, but there are plenty of places on the web to look that information up for yourself. Also, you'll be near the Historical Monument which I'd encourage you to take a moment to read. Or see the above link as I feel 15Tango did an excellent job describing the history of the cave.

Please note there is NO parking available on Shepard Road. I would suggest parking along Randolph Ave to the East or Butternut Ave to the West. The cache is located along the Bike Path that goes past the Monument, very close to Shepard Road, but you can safely stay on the Bike Path side to locate the cache.
