********

Sunset Park in beautiful Fish Creek was created in 1919. The Sunset Park Guest Home (now the White Gull Inn), the building up the road, was originally the Lumberman's Hotel in Marinette, Wisconsin. It was moved across the Green Bay ice to Fish Creek in 1907.

Muggle alert! This nice little park can be busy. Even as I was scoping out the location for the cache, a family handed me a camera and requested that I take some pictures of them in front of the nice view. Then later in the evening as I was placing the cache I arrived and decided to wait out a few muggles. Then three kids came down and started throwing rocks into the water. Then their parents came and then a few more different groups and then after about 50 people, I gave up and came back the next morning and had the place to myself... except for a very friendly and tame seagull named Roger. So, please use stealth and be sure (especially on the bonus cache!) that you are not observed. Roger won't rat you out, and he gives hints!

I've hidden two caches here. (About a month after this cache was published someone placed a Letterbox nearby. It is not related in any way to my caches.) The main cache has the coordinates for a bonus cache. It is much more difficult and out in the open. Feel free to log the bonus cache as a separate entry to get credit for the second find. The bonus is small with only a log. Please rehide each cache carefully. Thanks! And please post your pictures.

8-24-09: Added hint for bonus. Also, the bonus is not on the upper level of the park. Stay on the beach level.
