Firelanes abound in this section of the Washburn County Forest, so we decided to add a series of microcaches along some of them to connect with the Flowage Firelane P&G series of caches. After all, what's better than a micro in the woods.
Park and Grab (P&G) may be a bit of a stretch for some of these, as a few are a short distance off the firelane. The caches are small bison tubes of various colors. Since the Flowage Firelane caches are of the micro variety please remember to bring your own writing utensil. A log extraction device may also be useful in some cases.
Difficulty gets a 3 because these are micros. They are in the woods. The woods are big, micros are small.
Winter access is pretty much dependent upon road and firelane drivability (I don't think the section of Leisure Lake Road providing access to the region is not plowed in the winter, and the firelanes definitely aren't plowed. A snowmobile or ATV may aid winter access to the area, but we can't really speak to that because we don't own a snowmobile or ATV). Actually, summer access is pretty much dependent upon road and firelane conditions. These firelanes can be pretty sandy so proceed with caution. We drove around the firelanes dropping off these caches in our Dodge Neon, so they were pretty passable at that time. But that was then, this is now. It's a long walk back to civilization, and cell reception can come and go. The area is also heavily hunted during the fall, especially during the deer season in late November. Best to wait until the season is over, or at least wear your orange.
In the attributes we also checked off ticks, poison ivy and thorns because it's northern Wisconsin, where there are plenty of ticks, poison ivy and thorns.
