Ok here it goes:

This is a multi-cache. There are two caches in this one. The first is a small cache that gives you instructions on how to get close to the second(main)cache which is normal sized.

The instruction sheets you find at the first cache are yours to take, (you used to have to copy them down). I would appreciate if finders of the cache can indicate when the stash of clue sheets are running low so that I can refill them, but as a safety I have permanantly marked the coords to the main cache on the 1st caches container. On the clues section each letter above equals the letter below. Please try not to let other trail users see the site.

This area is very hilly and there are rocks and roots in the pathway in some parts, so please travel carefully, especially in the winter months.

Park at N42 29.601, W88 11.939. Park along the road and do not block the gate. This area is open until sunset.

After passing through the gate, turn immediately right and follow the grass road to the south, southeast, and then east. When you get to a sign at N42 29.467, W88 11.714 head south on the foot path.

If this cache goes smoothly, it is about 3 miles roundtrip. You will probably want to take a snack and water along.

All other details to the main cache are contained in the first cache. After thinking about it, I did put one additional clue to the main cache in the hints section.

GOOD LUCK, and email me if you think you have better coords. or comments which may help.


Both the 1st cache and main cache have been cleaned out and updated as of 11/4/06. There are enough sheets in #1 to last another 2 years without maintenence. In addition, the coords to the main cache are permanently marked on cache #1. I will replace clue sheets when I can, but the cache can always be found even without them, so please don't e-mail me offering to adopt the cache. Please make sure to secure the plug tightly on the 1st cache and please don't put junk into the main cache. Please put them back exactly as found.


Thanks,

TED M
