Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.
This is one of almost 50 geocaches placed to commemorate the 2023 Waukesha Janboree’s theme this year of “CALL OF THE WILD.” You’re looking for a small size cache hidden at Waukesha’s Woodfield Park. Solve the simple field puzzle at the playground to get the final coordinates for the cache.

Street parking is available at N43 00.555 W88 15.275.

Some of our favorite puzzle cache finds are actually “field puzzles” at playgrounds, often hidden by Mister GreenThumb and Sunshine. It’s so fun to do a simple field puzzle right at a playground – it’s kid friendly - allowing the whole family to enjoy themselves while outside. While the grownups solve the puzzle the kids can play on the playground equipment (or even help solve the puzzle). And if you don’t have any kids of your own along and there aren’t any children on the playground, why not slide down the slide yourself or climb into a tower or two! We really have had so much fun seeing the great variety of playgrounds which frankly are way better than those around when we were kids. Enjoy your time at the playground!
