Vernon Marsh Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

jvechinski: Well I finally got out to check the cache today and found that it really is gone. There was no sign of the cache container near the unique tree that it was hidden in. This was the first geocache I hid (way back in March 2001), so I'm a little angry that it got ripped off. Thanks to the 42 teams who hunted this cache during its lifetime... I hope you guys had fun. I plan to hide another cache in a different part of the marsh after the gun deer season, so stay tuned...

Geocache Description:

Located in the Vernon Marsh State Wildlife Area. A short hike on a good trail to a well hidden cache.

notewin = open("http://www.wi-geocaching.com/alert.shtml", "alert", "toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,width=450,height=400") Park at coordinates N 42 52.540, W 88 19.655. Follow the road/trail from the parking lot about .8 miles NE to the cache location.

Very easy hike, but take a look at the hints if you don't want to spend a lot of time searching... the cache is well hidden. Cache container is a green, .30 caliber ammo can.

Cache contains the usual geocache stuff (including a disposable camera). Featured cache items: Solider of Fortune CD-ROM game and a Tom Petty Wildflowers CD.

The trail follows a narrow strip of woods next to the marsh. In the woods, you'll probably see a number of squirrels (I saw seven). Be sure to continue on the trail to where it crosses the marsh (about another .2 miles). Here you'll see ducks, geese, cranes, and more.
