Geocache Description:


A stop along the YSTAL - WEYAUWEGA to FREMONT Adventure Lab, will give you the coordinates for this puzzle Final.

While the cache is not in the water, the virtual coordinates are near the location of the old Wolf River draw bridge, built in 1922.

Established in 1913, the Yellowstone Trail stretched 3600 contiguous miles, connecting Plymouth Rock to Puget Sound. It was the highway that opened America’s northwest to auto tourism & played a prominent role in creating the Great American Road Trip, allowing the average family to experience the country, its geography & its culture from coast to coast. Tourists were eager to hit the open road in their autos to explore the US. Sadly, many existing roads were sand & mud, filled with ruts and stumps. Construction of the Yellowstone Trail was largely a private enterprise, with mainly local citizens working together to link existing oxcart trails, farm roads, and walking routes.

In the 1920's many towns along the Yellowstone Trail had a representative known as a “Trailman”, whose duties included providing information to travelers along the way. In the 1919 Yellowstone Trail route folder, Trailmen were described as being “…businessmen of standing in their communities, and will always be glad to welcome tourists and serve them in any reasonable manner.”
