This series is placed along the McMiller Ski Trails within the Southern Unit of the Kettle Moraine Forest. Please follow all posted rules & regulations including NO HIKING in winter when the trails are groomed for XC skiing. Also on the property is a shooting range which you will likely hear if you're there during range hours.
Pecan Finger Cookies are another popular Christmas cookie that I have not seen or made outside of the holiday season. These are delicious, but leave a powdery mess wherever you eat it. The first year my mom and I didn't make Christmas cookies together, we decided to split them up and trade. These were one of mine to make. I didn't realize how thin she typically rolled them and I showed up with very fat pecan fingers for the family and was ridiculed. You are looking for a camo spice container off the blue/purple loop.
These trails are minimally maintained in the summer months which means grass on the trail may not be mowed. Here is a map I created based on my GPS tracks and the McMiller ski trail map. Note there are three potential parking areas. Daily or annual parking pass is required for a fee. Refer to the geocache Chocolate Chip Cookie for these parking waypoints. If accessing from Forest Headquarters, follow the Ice Age Shelter 2 sign and continue hiking past the shelter until you are within a few hundred feet of this geocache. At that point, look for a footpath on your left (pink on map) to get onto the McMiller Trail system.
The Geocache Notification Form has been submitted to Amanda Kutka/Anne Korman of the Wisconsin DNR. Geocaches placed on Wisconsin Department of Natural Resource managed lands require permission by means of a notification form.
