We've taken our dog CachinCoco out in these woods and she was so happy! She likes to run around while we look for caches. While she was running up and down these hills and sniffing all of the critter tracks we decided to hide a cache in her honor. She wasn't too concerned with what we were doing, she was far too busy exploring the woods. But her enthusiasm while we are out on the trails is infectious and we're always in a good mood while she's caching with us. We hope that you enjoy Coco's Cache.
When we hid this cache, we were hunting Comekelp's caches in the vicinity. I don't know if there is legal closer parking to this one, but we approached from below the hill. From Comekelp's cache pages: "Please read carefully! Use the parking coords: N44 50.142 W91 30.887 This will put you at a city right-a-way. You'll see a narrow trail leading into the hillside slightly to your right. The neighboring property owner knows of these and is ok with it. About 100' in you'll see a well defined trail wandering off to your left. Follow this trail to find all four caches." Since this area is covered in snow, I am not positive if the trail extends closer to where we hid the cache, but it's likely bushwhacking for a ways. We had no problem maneuvering through the woods in the winter but that may be a different story in the summer. Please know that this is a steep hill and you will have a bit of an elevation gain to get to this cache but the view is great!
