Geocache Description:

This cache is located in a county park. You will need 225 copper pennies for the vehicle entrance fee. If you want to walk or bike in it is free. You can get to the vicinity of all the coordinates by using park trails. You may want to time this cache for the late afternoon. When it gets dark you can do the excellent "Glow in the Dark" cache, which is located in the same park. May be too much walking for younger kids.

  1. There is a parking lot near the first coordinates of N42 58.858 W88 11.476. Head to these coordinates and find a number in the woods. This number will be x. Your next coordinates to the wood man will be N42 58. (658 + x) W88 11. (555 + x). Watch out for Jason Voorhees!
  2. At your new coordinates find the wood man. Figure out the six-letter word to describe what the wood man is doing. Take the last letter of this word and figure what number this letter is in the alphabet (example a=1, z=26), this number will be y. Your next coordinates to Rosebud will be N42 58. (.669 - y) W88 11. (244-y).
  3. At Rosebud look for a post. What color stripe is near the top of the post? Write the color down. Take the third letter in the word and again do the alphabet conversion. This number will be v. Your coordinates to the back trails will be N42 58. (432 + v) W88 10. (926 + v).
  4. At the back trail coordinates find a sign. Look for the four-digit number to the left of the word Pewaukee. The last two digits in this number will be w. Your coordinates to Coffin Rock will be N42 58. (393-w) W88 10. (835-w).
  5. At Coffin Rocks look for a large crevice and find a small container. This container will have your coordinates to the Witch's Cauldron (now crushed)Stump by the creepy barns.
  6. In the Witch's Cauldron Stump find another container with the coordinates to the Spooky Nook Cache!
  7. The tupperware cache is wrapped in camo cloth and contains a camera and log book. Please email me if you take the last picture. Happy exploring.
