Geocache Description:

The first stage is on a small island that is part of Crystal Beach Park. This island is in a DNR Aquatic Management Area. A cache cannot be hidden here. So I made this a multi-cache so you can get in some extra paddling. (The terain is only a 5 in the winter if you or your car fall through the ice.)

This is the fifth in a series of island caches I have placed south of the river. The terrain rating will be easier in the winter. A life jacket is a good idea year-round. The first of three stages is a virtual cache located at the listed coordinates.

At this location you will find a brown sign. Count the number of letters on the sign. The number of letters will be a two digit number, call it BB.

The coordinates for the next stage are N 44° 43.CCC' W 93° 16.DDD' where:

CCC = (BB*12) + 32

DDD = (BB*11) + 45

Finding the final stage will require over 1.5 miles of water travel.
