Cadott's Mill Pond and on the Yellowstone Tr 3.0 Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

zuma!: Disappointed that the cache was not there, as I felt it was a great spot. Looks like it got muggled again. Look for version 4.0 to come out soon to replace this one. Since I cant find a muggle proof spot for a regular or a small or a regular container, I am going to have to switch to a micro.

Geocache Description:


Just north of the Yellowstone Trail, you will find Cadott's dam and a small mill pond. A small old wheel house still stands, now in disuse. There is park land on both sides of the mill pond. To follow the Yellowstone Trail in this area, just follow higway X in either direction, and the trail is marked in this area with Yellowstone Trail markers.

The coordinates above will take you a historical sign giving the history of the Yellowstone Trail in the area, and about 10 feet west of the sign is a wood statue of a Cadotte Fur Trader. Read the historical sign and look at the carving on the Fur Trader to get the coordinates for the cache. The final is a nice stroller friendly walk away, and WI Zumette assisted with testing the stroller friendliness here.

The final cache is at:

44.57.ABC
91.08.DEF

A = The fourth digit of the year the Yellowstone Trail Association was formed.
B = The fourth digit of the year a dam was built at Cadotte Falls.
C = The fourth digit of Cadot's centenniel.
D = The fourth digit of the year that the Yellowstone Trail became the first paved road all the way across the state.
E = The number of wooden fur traders that you can see.
F = The number of billboards that you can see that falsely claim that you are halfway between the North Pole and the Equator.

Yellowstone Trail

This is one of several caches I have placed along the route of the historic Yellowstone Trail. The trail is a historic motor route that went across Wisconsin from 1918 to 1930. The Wisconsin portion of the Yellowstone Trail is 406 miles long, starting at the state line south of Kenosha and going north, and then west to Hudson. The Wisconsin segment is just a part of one of America’s first transcontinental auto routes, a 3,754-mile long road that started in Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts and went to Puget Sound, Washington.
