Castor Canadensis... North American Beaver. This cache will bring you to the Beaver Brook Wildlife Area south of Spooner,WI. This is a great hiking and cross country ski area with 15 miles of trails. There are several ways to approach this cache, I would recommend using the parking lot at the sign on Cranberry Rd. Follow the trail .7 of a mile. You will have to cross the stream at some point, we had no trouble even with the recent higher water levels. We were able to hop on a log jam to the west bank of Beaver Brook. You are looking for a camouflaged ammo can filled with treasures and a log book. All of the contents are enclosed in a large ziploc bag, so please place things back in it. This should be accessible in the winter , so to speak. The difficulty could reach a 5 with lots of snow! Please don't consider looking for this cache during the rifle deer hunting season, as this is public land. The Geocache Notification Form has been submitted to the wildlife manager at the Spooner headquarters of the Wisconsin DNR. Geocaches placed on Wisconsin Department of Natural Resource managed lands require permission by means of a notification form. Please print out a paper copy of the notification form, fill in all required information, then submit it to the land manager. The DNR Notification form and land manager information can be obtained at: http://www.wi-geocaching.com/hiding.

It was a long hike, and a wet day, at least my daghter(CKW_2015) found her first geocoin which made the trip. I did replace another coin at another location nearby.

Quite the hike to this one. enjoyed a few black berries on the way in. Got our toes wet in the stream and cut across country on the way out. Good thing mom stayed with the truck.

Yes, there are numerous ways to reach this cache. We tried the direct approach, and ended up losing count of the number of times we crossed the stream. On the return trip, we decided to try a different route, and used the trail. We recommend this second option. Swapped a geocoin for a TB.

Well, since I was in the area, I figured I'd get this one that been om my radar why too long. Parked at th suggested parking spot and started the hike in. Great trail and a great spot for the cache. But I want to know, just how did you come across it? The Geo-pups and I were a tad tired after this one so we figured we'd the other local caches at another time.
Thanks!
