Geocache Description:

This is on a small public island on Lake Nokomis in Tomahawk, WI

Get your boat out! This cache is on a small public island on lovely Lake Nokomis. Of all the Lake Nokomis Island caches, this one was the first placed.

Check here for the different public boat landings on Lake Nokomis. You have a number of options on how to get to this cache. In the winter, the terrain on this cache drops to a 2 as a boat won't be required (obviously), but the difficulty may go up if you have to dig in the snow (note, multiple DNFs in the winter). Should be a good one for those ice fishing or snowmobiling on Lake Nokomis. If you take a Travel Bug, please leave one behind in its place.

The original container was a clear plastic jar, but on 3/21/10 was replaced with an ammo can, as it was thought to be missing. It was replaced again w/ a plastic jar on 10/8/11 This log entry tells about that funny episode I had replacing it...

Congrats to "Mathman, SirCumference,The Better Half, & Cutie Pi" for the FTF. They did it with a boat in the true spirit of this cache.

On 10/8/2011, the cache was replaced again, with a clear plastic utz container.
