Wis Kid: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:


Just north of the Yellowstone Trail, you will find Cadott's dam and a small mill pond. A small old wheel house still stands, now in disuse. There is park land on both sides of the mill pond. To follow the Yellowstone Trail in this area, just follow higway X in either direction, and the trail is marked in this area with Yellowstone Trail markers.

The coordinates above will take you a historical sign giving the history of the Yellowstone Trail in the area, and about 10 feet west of the sign is a wood statue of a Cadotte Fur Trader. Read the historical sign and look at the carving on the Fur Trader to get the coordinates for the cache. The final is a short walk away.

The final cache is at:

44.57.ABC

91.08.DEF

A = The fourth digit of the year the Yellowstone Trail Association
was formed.

B = 4.

C = The number of wooden fur traders that you can see.

D = Third digit of the year that Michel Cadotte had a trading post near here.

E = Third digit of the year that the Yellowstone Trail was started to get people out of the mud.

F = 4.




This is one of several caches I have placed along the route of the historic Yellowstone Trail. The trail is a historic motor route that went across Wisconsin from 1918 to 1930. The Wisconsin portion of the Yellowstone Trail is 406 miles long, starting at the state line south of Kenosha and going north, and then west to Hudson. The Wisconsin segment is just a part of one of America’s first transcontinental auto routes, a 3,754-mile long road that started in Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts and went to Puget Sound, Washington.
