Geocache Description:

This is my 200th hide on Geocaching.com As a special milestone cache hide, this is a special cache.

I hid this cache in a typical Wisconsin style. What are you looking for?

Well.....

It may be a magnetic keyholder. But most magnetic key holders leak, so I would have to make sure to place this one where it is waterproof.

I wanted to place this cache in a wonderful location. Wadewitz Nature Center used to be the BSA Racine Council's Summer Camp, and thus is one of my favorite places. My Troop is camping there in December as a matter of fact.

I love placing certain types of geocaches. My absolute favorite to find is a pill bottle, so I may have placed a pill bottle in the crotch of a tree. Now, pill bottles aren't terribly waterproof, so I would make sure to place mine so it wouldn't leak.

Milestone caches should have special surprises. This one shouldn't dissapoint you either. DON'T ASSUME ANYTHING. Go look for this cache with an open mind, and bring all that stuff you have taking up space in your garage if you'd like. You may need that "stuff", you may not.

I have seen some fantastic caches where the hider used a film cannister. I have a Probe Droid using a film cannister, but it's an unusual film cannister hide. Just like this cache, unusual. Don't worry, if I placed a film cannister, it would be waterproof.

How difficult should I make the cache? How much should I make you hunt? What terrain rating should I have? How about middle of the road? Yeah, let's do that. There is a little bit of bushwackign involved, but not oo bad. It should be fairly easy to find once you get there.

Rogheff likes his evil nano containers. You can barely get the logs out. If I had placed one of those for my 200th cache hide, you'd know it. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't.

A good geocache should be family friendly and have lots of goodies for the kiddies. Is this a good geocache? You tell me. This then, would have to be a regular cache. In fact it should be an ammo can if you ask most people.

A good milestone should have a good FTF prize too. This one sure does. I carve hiking sticks and I carved one for this cache. It's a beautiful Diamond Willow Shillelagh and I'll personalize it for the FTF. It's near the cache location, the FTF will probably have an easier time finding it because of this.

Bison Tubes are all the rage for use as geocaching containers. I would have to use a good camoed one for this cache - if that's what I used.

Again, we mustn't assume anything. You've probably already formed an assumption about this cache. Ooh, that would be a big mistake.
