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.
Thumbprint Cookies can take on all types of variety. Typically these have a fruit filling, such as raspberry, but can really take on any flavor of fruit filling you're willing to create. Additionally, once you have that thumbprint to fill, the possibilities are really endless. Why stop with fruit when there's also chocolate, peanut butter, and caramel? You are looking for a camo pill bottle off the blue 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 Pecan Finger Cookie. 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.
