Geocache Description:

A scenic visit to Adams County's Lone Rock area.

Parking near gate at N 43° 54.401 / W 089° 50.870

A no frills hunt, not for the weak of heart or the young, this cache requires a 2.6 mile (each way) hike/bike along a mostly level snowmobile trail AND then a challenging climb to the top of the "Rock," where you'll be treated to 360° of spectacular views (be sure to walk the trail around the top). You will not need climbing gear -- just good hiking footwear. There are NO facilities, drinking water, or services for miles, so bring drinking water, binoculars, a camera, and/or a picnic lunch.....and let someone know where you're headed. Come prepared for mosquitoes, ticks and deer flies. Allow three to four hours, but do NOT attempt this during rain, snow, or approaching darkness.

You are searching for a well stocked 30 cal. ammo can.

To avoid wetlands, we highly recommend staying on trail until reaching: for those that enjoy climbing rocks, the western accent begining off main trail at N 43° 52.905 W 089° 52.040 OR for those that may prefer a mostly woods climb with only the last 30-40 feet up between rocks, leave trail at N43° 52.975 / W 089° 51.774 (since the tornado,it will be necessary to climb over trees on this approach...but you should head towards a washout at approximately N43* 52.961 / W 089* 51.905 to lead you to the top). Once on top head for the cache.

NOTE: This is a Wisconsin Natural Area, so please treat nature with extra respect. As with all geocaches, you take full responsibility for seeking this cache. Happy Trails!
