This is relatively short 2-and-a-half step multi :-) on The Preserve trail on the west side of De Pere. Bring a pencil to do a little figuring and to sign the logbook.
The above coordinates will take you to a map. Since I am a teacher, I will give you a multiple-choice “test” to take using the map and a history sign which is just around the bend. Get 100% on the (“open-book”) test and it’ll take you to the cache.
Directions: When you figure out the correct answer to each test question, plug in the number (which is in quotes) into the corresponding letter of the coordinates.
N 44* AB.CDE
W088* 0F.GHI
