This is a fairly easy multi-cache located at a historical site along the Tomorrow River.
The Geocache Notification Form has been submitted to the Wisconsin DNR. Geocaches placed on Wisconsin Department of Natural Resource managed lands require permission by means of a notification form.
The posted coordinates will take you to a parking lot near the final coordinates. You’ll need to do a little research beforehand to find the final cache coordinates (answers can be found here): https://mdleader.wordpress.com/2008/04/26/rising-star-mill-nelsonville-wisconsin/
The final cache is located at:
N 44 29.ABC
W89 18.DEF
A= The third number in the year the Mill was built.
B= Last number in the year the Mill was sold to the Portage County Historical Society
C= The Mill was operated as a business until _______. Last number in this year =C
D= Number of third floor windows on the front of the building + 5
E= Last number in the year the Dept. of Natural Resources removed the spillway -1
F= The third number in the year that Wisconsin Power and Light took over operation of the Mill.
Note: Many have reported that the coordinates are about 25 feet off. When I check, it is still on. Perhaps the Mill is interfering with signal. If you can't find it, try a similar spot about 25 feet away (if you're close, you'll know what I mean). Happy hunting!
