The Wizard welcomes you to the Land of OC! Come and journey along this mystical, enchanted trail through the glades of Oconto County. Revisit Dorothy and Toto and some of the other endearing characters of your childhood. Most of the caches in this series are easy to moderate in difficulty and the terrain is level. Do beware though. There are challenges ahead. If you remember the story line, there is at least one “evil monkey.” But a great reward awaits you at the end where the Wizard’s treasure is to be found.
Your path will lead you down a “rails to trails” adventure that is open to hiking, biking, horseback riding, and snowmobiling. Please map it out and note that it is NOT a loop. Plan accordingly. Remember to bring water and insect repellent during the summer season. Use discretion during the deer gun season.
The Wizard hopes that you enjoy some of the unique and interesting caches that have been laid out for you. Every attempt has been made to make them winter friendly. Have a safe and wonderful journey.
Okay, so they’re not slippers! But there are two small caches to be found and they are ruby colored. You must find and sign both logs. If you don’t note that you found and signed both, your log may be deleted! Please do not remove their container in your search. Simply take the top off, pull the string, and they will be revealed to you. Then replace them exactly as you found them by reversing the process. Ruby slipper #2 holds a vital piece of information to the Wizard’s treasure. Be sure to look for it.
