Geocache Description:

Cache is located in Belmont Mound Park. Upper parking lot is .15 New cords: N42 46.243 W090 20.885

miles from cache.

The cache is well hidden in an ammo box. Lots of goodies like: one gold dollar, digital stick-on clock, key fobs, spice assort., Orion lite stick, bug spray, compass, new-tech glass and dusting cloths, and a digital tire gauge. First ones to find it get their pick! The trek to the cache is in open woods. Easier to use the upper parking lot--besides, there you can go up a 96-step tower with a 360 degree view and see WI, IA, and IL.

There are other hiking trails in the park if you're interested. Also .5 mile away to the West is Wisconsin's first state capitol. Est. in 1836, which was later, in 1838, moved to the present location of Madison.

Oh, and the Platteville mound, the worlds largest M is only two miles to the West. Enjoy the view and the cache!!!

09/12/2005 Update: The ammo box has been stolen, so we replaced it with plastic. Maybe that won't walk off. We've also replenished it with more goodies. Happy hunting!

04/10/2006 Update: The coordinates have changed--we've moved the cache to a more discrete hiding spot. The hint is still valid. New Cords: N 42° 46.243 W 090° 20.885
