A High-Tech History Hunt into the Mining Boom Days of Lake City

The GPS coordinates will bring you close, but you need to use your skills to find each cache.
Our caches are small, waterproof containers that hold labels for you to place in the brochure. Each cache has a different label. Keep your finished brochure as a souvenir of your journey through Lake City's history.
The geocache coordinates listed will take you on a tour of some of the most interesting sites in the Lake City National Historic District.
Geocache Adventure Instructions:
