This cache has been archived.

Wis Kid: I noticed that this cache has remained temporarily disabled for a period of time well in excess of the period of 'a few weeks' as contemplated by the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com. For now, I'm temporarily archiving this to keep it from continually showing up in search lists. Just contact me at the below e-mail address when you have the cache repaired, and assuming it still meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

If you haven?t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past.

Thanks for your understanding,

Geocache Description:

The Marsh Master by Wikidmilk/wzbt03
Are you up to the challenge?
Can you excel to the top?
can you be The Marsh Master?
A multi-cache so challenging that once you are done you can stand proud and yell into the wind - I am The Marsh Master!
This Cache consists of 4 stages. Three of the stages will give you essential information you will need for the final stage.(The information in the containers is no longer needed. You will just be lucky if you choose the final cache first.)

In random order we have listed the stages: but first lets get educated about the area you are about to tackle.
In order to find the missing coordinates to some of the stages you will need to visit your local library. This is where you will find the missing coordinates all coded as such.

1. Park at N42°47.372 W088°50.540 and then proceed:
Write the letters A-Z From left to Right and below the letters write the numbers from left to right 45480259435926192144077386 (26 individual Numbers)

Find the book "Marshes and Swamps" by Stone go to PAGE 36 LINE 2 WORD 1
this will give you N42 __.___
Find the book "Marshes and swamps" by stone go to PAGE 39 LINE 9 WORD 1
this will give you W088 __.___

2. Park at N42° 48.388 W088° 50.510
Write the letters A-Z frrom left to right and below the letters write the number from left to right 46655251636806827549023441 (26 individual numbers)
Find the book "Marshes and Swamps" by Stone go to PAGE 15 LINE 7 WORD 5
this will give you N42 __.___
Find the book "Marshes and Swamps" by Stone go to PAGE 19 LINE 5 WORD 1this will give you W088 __.___

3. Park at N42°46.951 W088°51.507
The year is 2003 and 1956 in the year you need for a simple calculation to get the first two number of the coordinate.
"Oh double toothpicks" I can't figure this thing out for the last three numbers to this coordinate.
N42 __.___
16 more than 35 will get you the first two numbers to this coordinate
vfei tryiht ixs is your last three numbers of this coordinate
W088 __.___

4.park at N42°47.758 W088°52.662
N42 hLLLO is this Coordinate
W088°52.504 Can this be correct?

So are you feeling lucky? if you are lucky you will find the three essential ones first. This is meant to be a challenging cache. At the end of your quest, you will be just yards away from one of the best bogs in rock county(Probably the only true bog). If you decide to get your feet wet - Venture over and see the world of Sphagnum Moss and Orchids. The entire cache can be done without getting wet. Of course a Marsh Master would Figure this out easily.
Good Luck in your quest! Join Marsh Masters Wikidmilk and wzbt03!
