How privalidged we all are to live in such a great country. We who
live in Wisconsin are even more so with the landscape and year
round recreation just out our front doors. I have lived in this
great state all my life and enjoyed quite a bit of its history.
Including some world famous Packer games like the ice bowl and the
snow bowl. Seems like I always get the cold games. Almost every
city that this puzzle is based on I have been to. I have even done
caches at a few of the places mentioned. Test your Wisconsin world
history to solve this puzzle. Maybe you will learn something, like
did you know Duncan yo - yo's were made in Wisconsin? I didn't and
I ran those thing around the world many times.
