This should be an easy grab. There is no need to go under the bridge nor go anywhere near the railroad tracks. Please watch for traffic, there are many cars that use the drive way to access the apartment houses.
Visit my sister cache on the North side of town "Green Bay Trail #2" and see where the trail continues there. (https://coord.info/GC7F51A).
Green Bay Trail (Road) History:
First there were small animal trails. This was followed by deer and larger animals using the same trails. Later on, the Native Americans found these deer trails and used them to more easily get around the forest. As time went on, trappers and traders used the trails on foot and with their horses. Early settlers found the same trails and widened them to accommodate their carts and buggies. The small animal trail now became a makeshift dirt road. The trail system was used by many people making their first land trek into the Wisconsin Territory from the city of Chicago. The military eventually decided there should be a maintained road (or trail) from Fort Dearborn in Chicago to Fort Howard in Green Bay. The trail now became a road. The road you see next to you (Whitnall Ave) is a portion of this road. It was the first road in this area. It was also one of the first roads acknowledged by the Federal Government in this area. At one point there were markers laid every two miles from Chicago to Green Bay along this road. You can still find some along the route. Below are photos of two markers that still stand today between Racine and Kenosha along Hwy 31. Enjoy - The Closet Historian
