He carried her away to a great dry plain, left her there, and returned to live in his own wigwam of solid rock. Confined to this place of loneliness and destitution, the maiden was visited by an emissary of Hiawatha - the Supreme Deity of the Indians. He gave her a peculiar black rock and told her to make it into a spear. Then he showed her where to strike it against the rocks of the great dry plain. The maiden did as the Great Spirit had instructed, and at once a great soaring of water gushed out and flowed rapidly over the plain. It began to fill in all the vast space, and as it did, the maiden climbed higher and higher up the rocks until she reached the top. When the waters ceased to rise, the evil spirit was imprisoned some distance away in another part of the big rock, surrounded by water and compelled to remain there for all time. One day, the Indian maiden escaped in a canoe which floated out to her from shore. The land on which she climbed was Bear Island, and the waters are how Leech Lake was formed.

A cache is term used in hiking/camping as a hiding place for concealing and preserving provisions. This rapidly growing high-tech sport is for those who love technology, nature and adventure. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location.
