Geocache Description:

Located at an under development historical marker at the Frank Settlement School is one of the states artesian wells.

After many battles finding cache containers throughout the Kingdom of Camelot and beyond, you may want to stop here for a cool drink of fresh water.

BEWARE OF SHARP DAGGERS while exploring this site.


First waypoint is a micro with coordinates for the final which is a camo taped plastic pint jar. Has some small trading items, logbook, and a pencil. Final may not be winter friendly, WP1 probably findable in winter.

Originally planned as an earthcache, seems the records were never taken by the people putting in the well, or a study done of the area that we could find. There is a shelter there now and a plaque explaining the history of the site, but no help on there for what I needed to get this approved as an earthcache. So I am placing it for now as a traditional.

An artesian well allows water that has traveled through porous rock from a higher elevation to rise to the surface. This pumpless well seems to defy gravity because the pressure that builds up between layers of rock gets relieved when the water finds a path to the open air.

In case this qualifies, papers have been filed with the Green Bay DNR for permission to place this cache here.
