Geocache Description:

This is a virtual cache on public land. The trail is pretty easy to follow, with a gentle slope which will eventually take you up about 100 ft.

(9/1/09) Note: It appears that someone has removed the plaque that was embedded into a rock at the cache site. The plaque was placed there in 1976, commemorating the bicentennial of the U.S. with a "bicentennial tree." Although the plaque is gone, I hope you have fun discovering this wonderful little trail and answering the questions. ~Drachemann~

Park your car at: N42 53.967 89W 22.455

You'll see two trails entrances into the woods... it's really the same horseshoe-shaped trail which will bring you back to the parking area. Enter either way you like. This trail is beautiful when Autumn colors set in!
