Wis Kid: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

This cache is NOT dangerously close to the river bank. If you find a scarlet fish, use the clues to help you find the actual cache.

Update 7/15/2014: scarlet fish missing. I decided not to replace it. Good luck and happy hunting! :)

My kids and I have been enjoying the trails along this stretch of the Menomonee River for years. Whether you're familiar or new to the area, I hope you enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells as you hike along the unpaved path that is hidden in the woods near the river. I don't remember there being many thorny plants near GZ but you never know what each new spring will bring when you're in a woodsy, park location. Also, anytime you venture into the woods, you risk encountering ticks. That said, I have never had any tick encounters along the Menomonee River parkway in all my life so far. Hope that sentence didn't jinx me for next spring. Happy hunting! :)

If you really want a bigger hint than everything that's available so far...
check out the photo of BOuLdeR7 and I (in Hack1of2's log) in the woods at the Hoyt Park CITO event. I don't know if it will help or not but the cache can be seen in that photo :) .
