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.
The Wizard rode his horse of many colors along the trail to place these caches. As he rested in the shade one day, his horse wandered off. Being the “chameleon” that it is, the Wizard could not find the animal and ended up walking home. Sometimes the Wizard isn’t as smart as he thinks he is. He hopes you have better luck finding his horse than he did. The cache is a small camoed container. FYI…The filmmakers used a white horse and sponged it down with different colors of Jello. They had a hard time trying to keep the horse from licking it off.
