Geocache Description:

This cache is placed at the lower end of Demetral near a set of solar panels.  The panels have reminded me of The MadiSUN series of caches that I found when I was just getting my feet wet in this hobby.  Early on, myself and Coconut Cannonball reached out to the Commander for advice in getting started.  So, I have copied his theme and placed this one in honor of all of the help that he has given us over the years.


The Commander was the Energy Manager for the Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs and was involved in conserving energy and promoting renewable energy on a day by day basis. As such, I thought it would be fun to put together a series of caches that took you to places in Madison where Solar Energy is being harnessed.

 

I placed this cache with standard geocaching tools that I keep in my car. Being a husky person myself I did it without climbing.  Grumble all you want, if you are prepared or seasoned cacher, this shouldn’t be that hard of a nut to crack.  Please replace it as you found it, you wouldn’t want to make it too easy for the next cacher, would you?
