This
cache was originally part of the Hudson Hot Air Affair
Geocache Bash 2008. If you found it during that event, you
can go ahead and log the find. Cache is now a peanut butter
jar.
This cache takes you to an
environmental education area across from the Hudson High
School. Trailhead at the coordinates posted below – this is
the best place to enter. Please observe the posted parking
rules and please seek this cache during daylight hours only.
There is a path through the area – stick to the trail and
wind your way around the trees. Enjoy the variety of wildlife
that can be found here. Head up a small hill to the cache
location. Permission for placement of this cache has been
granted by Dennis Toll, Assoc. Principal of Hudson High
School (715-377-3800). Many thanks!
The Hudson Hot Air Affair
is the premier winter ballooning event and winter festival in the
Midwest. Thousands of visitors head to the St. Croix Valley
community in west central Wisconsin and local residents make it a
homecoming every year on the first full weekend in February. About
40 colorful hot air balloons, including special shapes, launch in
mass ascensions Saturday and Sunday mornings and light up the night
at the Saturday evening Moon Glow or Field of Fire. Balloonists
traditionally attend from Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South
Dakota, Iowa, Illinois and
Nebraska.
