This is the second cache hidden as part of a year-long class project by Mike Seavert's 6th grade students at Whitnall Middle School in Greenfield, Wisconsin, just a few miles west of where the cache is hidden. The students are learning how to use a GPS system and what geocaching is all about in their social studies class. The cache contains a Flat Stanley with a travel bug and passport book attached to him. If you are the lucky one to stumble upon it first and would like to help participate in our project, please read the first two pages of his passport. Our class is trying to get Stanley to travel from cache to cache through many parts of Wisconsin by June 1, 2004.
We are also collecting small objects that represent Wisconsin, so bring something with you that you can leave for us in the cache, such as something that represents a state symbol, sports team, small souvenir or brochures from an attraction, postcard, photos, etc.). If you don't find Stanley in the cache, chances are fellow geocachers are helping him on his way in his amazing race around the state. At least you can leave something behind for us and sign our log book.
**UPDATE** - Our Wisconsin Flat Stanley is currently in the Welcome to Manitowoc cache. Hopefully someone can retrieve him and move him along. Click here to view his travel bug page.
My students and I were recently featured in our local newspaper about our geocaching activities. Click here to read the article.
