This cache is part of a series (initiated by BakRdz) intended to showcase Wisconsin’s Rustic Roads (WRR). The Wisconsin Legislature established the Rustic Roads program in 1973 to preserve what remains of Wisconsin's scenic, lightly traveled roads. For a current listing of Wisconsin Rustic Roads, check out this web page.
These caches are usually hidden in the right of way at a spot of notable beauty with no bushwhacking required. Please be respectful of private property, protected lands, and the overall history of the area. Take your time, mind your speed, and most of all… enjoy your journey along the road less traveled.
This particular cache is a camoed pill bottle hidden along 14th Road on the Marquette County portion of Rustic Road 104, which also includes Barry Avenue in Columbia County. The 5-mile drive takes you on paved surfaces between County O and County CM. When we placed this cache, we saw a deer and some turkeys, and quite a few roadside blooms. There was very little traffic, but so much scenery!
From the WRR web site: "This road passes over hills and valleys closely bordered by mixed hardwood forests and large cottonwood trees. Picturesque, century-old farms can be seen from several locations. The French Creek Wildlife Area and John Muir State Natural Area are nearby. There are remnant prairie patches and abundant wildlife along R-104."
