This cache was placed in celebration of the DNR’s event OutWiGo Green on May 13, 2023. The Wisconsin Geocaching Association, along with many other organizations, is partnering with the DNR to showcase all the wonderful outdoor activities you can do on State Parks and Lands. This series of caches highlights different types, sizes, and styles of hides for the beginner cacher to get started.
This cache is a classic ammo can hide. Most of these are in wooded areas with more coverage to hide their size. Ammo cans are great because they are waterproof and can hold a lot of SWAG. This is part of why we think of geocaching as treasure hunting! Children (and adults!) can bring items to trade in bigger caches. You should trade like items for like items or of equal value. Common SWAG items include marbles, stickers, small toys and trinkets, coins, and carabiners. Remember no food or unsafe items should ever go in a cache.
The trail back here can get squishy if it’s been rainy, please wear appropriate footwear.
