The posted coordinates will take you to the west end of the .75 mile long Tunnel Three on the Elroy-Sparta Bike Trail.
Walk ten paces in and the cache is on your right. Bring a flashlight.
[As of 5/8/2012, this cache became part of the "Dark Series." If you have found it before and you need the clue, email me but you'll be out there anyway if you are hunting the series.]
The trail is 32 miles in length on the abandoned Chicago & North Western Railroad bed and passes through three rock tunnels.
The Kendall and Wilton tunnels are 1/4 mile long and the Norwalk tunnel (the one you will be at) is 3/4 mile long. The trail is covered with limestone screenings and provides a smooth riding surface. The bridges are covered with planks and are guarded with railings.
The trail may be entered southeast of Sparta near Hwys. 16 and 71, or enter at Wilton or Norwalk on Hwy. 71, or continue on Hwy. 71 to the Village of Kendall - the Trail Headquarters is at the old Kendall Depot, or enter at the Elroy Commons in Elroy.
Brilliant cachers will find other logical entry points closer to the cache.
Trail passes are required for bikers 16 years of age and older. A daily trail pass is $4 and an annual pass is $20. These are good on any Wisconsin State Trail.
