Geocache Description:


**Cache is not at posted coords**



Finally updated clues in Aug '23 due to rule changes. Answers to impacted clues are provided.

This cache was placed as part of the WGA Lonely Cache Game event and chili feed Feb 2018.

What is the WGA LCG. It is a game within the game created by the WI Geocaching Association to promote finding caches within the state that have become lonely and haven't been found in a while. Typically but not always this can include difficult puzzle caches for those that want the brain puzzles, or caches in remote locations or long hikes or maybe not in a cache dense area. There is a point and scoring system and points are gathered for an entire calendar year. But it isn't always about the points but more so that I've had the most enjoyable times going after those caches.
