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 mostly 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 near the end where the Wizard’s treasure is to be found. Cachers who find all of the caches on the Yellow Brick Road will have their names added to the tribute list on the End of the Road Tribute cache.
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.
This cache, at the trailhead of the Yellow Brick Road, is a gadget cache. (Please do not forcibly try to open the doors on the cache or do anything to damage/wreck it. Much time and effort was taken in construction. The combinations to the locks can be obtained, one at a time, through your own ingenuity.) This gadget cache replaces the original and, if you found the original, you are still welcome to log this one. Finding it is easy…finding the log and signing it could be a little trickier. And you MUST sign the log.
