This is the third of six superhero caches placed in Rolfs Park for the 2019 West Bend Cache Ba$h, with this one featuring CAPTAIN AMERICA. A trail map is shown below to make it easier to get to all six caches.
The parking lot is located at N43° 24.325 W88° 12.120. Total hiking distance for all six is approximately 1.2 to 1.5 miles round trip from the parking lot, depending on your route. The trailhead for entrance into the nature preserve is just past the end of the parking lot at N43° 24.332 W88° 12.157. Suggested route to find all six is to go in a counter-clockwise direction along the trail.
ROLFS PARK
Rolfs Park features two parks in one: a 10 acre fenced-in off leash dog park, and the 30 acre Rolfs Nature Preserve (dogs not allowed in the nature preserve). All of the caches here are located in the nature preserve, not in the dog park.
CAPTAIN AMERICA
Captain America, the World War II superhero with super human strength and speed, has been a cultural icon since he was first featured on the cover of Captain America Comics #1 in 1940. From his very first appearance, Cap's iconic red, white and blue image has remained largely the same — although he has undergone numerous changes over the past eight decades.
Captain America is the alter ego of Steve Rogers, a frail young man enhanced to super human perfection by an experimental serum to aid the U.S. government's efforts in World War II. Cap wears a costume bearing an American flag motif, and he utilizes a nearly indestructible shield which he throws as a projectile. Near the end of the war, he was trapped in ice and survived in suspended animation until he was revived in the present day and joined the superhero group The Avengers. Although Captain America often struggles to maintain his ideals as a man out of his time with its modern realities, he remains a highly respected and relevant figure which includes becoming the long-time leader of the Avengers. He continues to be the embodiment of the best possible version of American ideals, the star-spangled man with a plan: Captain America!
