Park at the sandpit on Wright St. and follow the North Country
Trail till you get close, then bushwack thru some thick poplar and
then up a steep rock cliff. The NCT is easy walking, but the
bushwacking is pretty tough the way we went in. In the fall this
will be a great spot. The difficulty could vary depending on what
part of the NCT you come in on.
Presque Isle Park used to have a deer enclosure. The deer inside
the enclosure had the albino gene and I can remember seeing albino
deer in the enclosure in the 1980's when I visited Marquette. Back
in the 1990's after the deer enclosure was removed at Presque Isle
Park, there were two albino bucks born to a regular colored doe, in
the wild. The doe was probably from Presque Isle Park and had the
albinism gene. The bucks used to travel from the sandpit to Tourist
Park. We would see them every year. One buck, the one with an odd
number of points, used to be a little wild. You could only get
about forty yards from him. The other buck, the one with an even
number of points, was really tame. You could get to within 10 feet
of him and almost feed him by hand. I used to bowhunt near this
cache. One morning I watched the tame one from my bowstand. He
rubbed the velvet from his horns then came into my bait pile where
I shot a few pictures of him. We watched these bucks for about four
years. Sadly both bucks were poached. Today we have another albino
buck who lives in the fit strip area. There are also 2 albino does
living in the swamp in Trowbridge. The container is a quart size
Tupperware container. Starting contents are FTF gold Goerge
Washington $1, log, pencil, sharpener, and animal figures,
including dogs, cats, elk, frogs, lizards, turtles, fish, tigers,
and giraffes, and a travel bug. Please leave the hint attached to
the container. Rehide in the same spot and do not put spoilers in
your log. CONGRATULATIONS to elsor3214 on first to find!!
