Geocache Description:


Just what the world needs.....more micros in the woods.

Park and Grab (P&G) may be a bit of a stretch for some of these, as a some are a short distance off the firelane.  The caches are small bison tubes of various colors.  Since the Deer Lake 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 and your choice of vehicle.  A Ford Pinto will probably have issues in the winter, while a snowmobile or ATV may aid winter access to the area, however we can't really speak to that because we don't own a snowmobile or ATV. Actually, summer access is pretty also much dependent upon road and firelane conditions.  These firelanes can be pretty sandy so proceed with caution.  We drove around the firelanes in August and September 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.
