I Love Wisconsin Traditional Cache

The cache should be very easy to find.  It should be a quick park, and grab after a short, pleasant hike. There is an easy “trick” to opening the box in order to sign the log.  The log is inside the cache box.                                    

Permission to place the cache has been granted by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
