Spy Gear: Shoe Phone Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Blue Crow Expedition: This geocache has been in place for about eighteen months and it has had 81 finds. The conditions in the area have changed, and GZ has gotten much more muddy and difficult. Plus the river floods a couple of times per year and washes away the container. I am archiving this one to make room for something new nearby.

Geocache Description:


About the Container

You are looking for a small magnetic container. It is too small to hold trade items or most trackables. Please bring your own pen.

About the Location

The geocache is hidden in the Milwaukee River Greenway near one of the trails that runs along the river. If your coming from across the park there are stairs at N 43° 6.067' W 87° 54.550'. The geocache should be very findable even with six inches of snow on the ground. This is not a paved trail so your shoes might get dirty depending on the conditions. Some stealth may be required if other people are passing by. As always, should you be caught, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

About the Spy Gear

In the 1960s television series Get Smart, agent Maxwell Smart had a phone hidden in his shoe with a direct line to The Chief at his spy agency, CONTROL. Telephones appeared hidden in over fifty objects over the run of the series, but the shoe phone was the standard. It first appeared in the show nearly thirty years before handheld mobile phones were commercially available.

Permission

Permission to place this cache has been granted by the Milwaukee County Parks Department. Permit No. 562.
