You are searching for a camo-taped waterproof box in Riveredge Nature Center.
Riveredge Nature Center is a 350-acre natural sanctuary along the Milwaukee River of both forest and prairie and includes 10 ponds, 65 butterfly and skipper species, 192 bird species, and 664 species of plants. It has 10 miles of hiking trails, 7 miles of cross-country ski trails, and 1.5 miles of snowshoe trails. There are multiple scenic overlooks, and it features a Vernal Pond (you may be interested in visiting the EarthCache regarding this important ecological pond). If you have time to check out the Nature Center, I'd recommend it. It's great for kids!
