Rockin & Rolling on Gibraltar Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

WGA2: Hello,

Recently we were contacted by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources regarding your cache. It turns out that your cache is inside of the Gibralter Rock State Natural Area (SNA). http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/er/sna/sna73.htm

Per the DNR policy http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/parks/other/geocache.html, geocaches are not allowed in State Natural Areas. In the past geocaches were allowed into SNAs if they were placed prior to the DNR prohibiting them or if there were some extenuating circumstances. Unfortunately, the DNR is now insisting that all geocaches inside of SNAs need to be removed regardless of the circumstances.

I would like to thank you for your contribution to geocaching, and for bringing people to this special place. It has been a good run.

At your earliest convenience, please remove this geocache from the SNA.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the e-mail address below.

Thanks,

Admin - Tie

Geocache Description:

Take Hwy 113 to County V. Park at N43 20.913, W089 36.019 which is actually County VA, but only about 100 yds long. Use the paved walk to the top of the hill. It's pretty steep, but easy to negotiate.

Enjoy the many different birds and flora as you make your way to the top. The elevation is 1246', so be careful if you walk out to the ledge. There is nothing to break your fall. Because of the treacherous path near the rocks the cache is intentionally hidden in the woods. It's hidden in a regular sized tupperware container. Please hide carefully.
