This cache is placed in the parking lot near the West Bend Trailhead of a 1.5 mile segment of the Ice Age National ScenicTrail. Please park in or near the designated parking area, located along Paradise Drive. You MAY NOT park at the Silverbrook Girl Scout Camp located on the south and west sides of Lucas Lake. It looks like a road on the map, but it's not and is a private drive. See below for a trail map showing placement of all 7 Disney Magic caches and parking location. This section of the Ice Age Trail is 2.5 miles long but the 7 caches are only located on the first 1.5 miles of the trail.
This geocache is placed for the 2018 West Bend Cache Ba$h. It is the first of 7 caches in the series of DISNEY MAGICAL CHARACTERS, with this cache highlighting the character of Mary Poppins.
Mary Poppins is a 1964 American musical-fantasy film produced by Walt Disney, loosely based on the series of books by P.L. Travers. The title character, Mary Poppins, is an efficient, sensible English nanny in 1910 London who has magical powers. With kindness, humor, and good-hearted firmness, she instills in the two young children in her charge a sense of wonder, as well as a respect for limits. Her magical abilities include sliding up a bannister, flying through the sky with her talking parrot umbrella, having conversations with animals such as dogs and birds, “popping” into sidewalk chalk drawings, and moving objects with the snap of a finger. But perhaps the greatest magic of all is her positive impact in the lives of those around her.
The movie received a total of 13 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture – a record for any other film released by Walt Disney Studios – and won five: Best Actress, Best Film Editing, Best Original Music Score, Best Visual Effects, and Best Original Song for "Chim Chim Cher-ee." In 2013, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." Mary Poppins is widely considered to be Walt Disney's crowning movie achievement, his only film to gain a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars in his lifetime. Supercalifragelisticexialidosus!
