You are looking for a 1.1 liter lock & lock container. The
cache contains a log book, pencil, geocaching letter, contact
information and various trading items.
There is a FTF
Signal Frog Geocoin for the first finder.
Trappers would build a small rudimentary log cabin, approximate
size 8ft. X 10ft, which they would stay in while on their trap
lines in winter. The trappers would heat their tilt by a small
sheet metal wood stove that served as a cook stove as well. A tilt
was usually equipped with 2 bunks with the stove at one end and the
door on the other. The bunks served as chairs.
The old timers would describe some one who smokes a lot of
cigarettes as “he smokes like a tilt” so the tilt must have been
smokey when the fire was burning.
