This cache has been archived.

Wis Kid: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:


Welcome to Bjornson! Parking is available at: N44 55.829 W092 04.850 Please do not block the gate.

This cache features Extreme Bushwhacking! If you don't want a real challenge, don't hunt this one. The hike to the first stage is on a nice hiking trail. Read the sign about Basswood and answer the following questions to get the final coordinates. Then the real fun begins. No deer trail to follow although a "caching trail" may eventually develop. It's all uphill and full of nasty cutweeds! On the plus side, I didn't hide it very well so it's easy to see. Bring along a machete for the weeds! I can't wait to read the logs for this one! Go ahead and whine, you've earned it!

The final is at: N44 55.ABC W092 05.DEF
* IF an answer is 10, it's a 0 for the coords.

A = Number of lines of print on the sign.
B = Number of letters in the 5th word 4th line.
C = Number of letters in the 7th word on the 4th line.
D = Number of letters in the last word 4th line.
E = Number of letters in 6th word top row.
F = Number of letters when you add the 3rd and 4th words together from the 2nd line.

You are hunting an ammo can. The bugs are out in force so bring plenty of bug spray. Drinking water is available at the classroom and in the campground. Both pumps work and the water is great! You can also drink the water from the springs! Pit toilets are unlocked but I'd recommend you bring your own toilet paper.

Want a trail map? I've added a photo of the trail map to "Bjornson - Welcome Cachers".
