NOTE for novice Cachers: 

If you are new to Mystery Caches, this is a very simple puzzle. For this one, you will want to select the correct answer, and enter those coordinates into your GPS unit. In the geocaching.com App, there is a spot called Waypoints near the bottom of this cache page. You enter the coordinates in Waypoints and then use the arrow to navigate to the Final Location for this mystery cache. If you are using a different devise… well, you’re on your own 😀. Hint: the location should be within a 2 miles radius of the “?” on your map. This is an easy Mystery cache. Don’t overthink it.

This cache is placed by a member of the Wisconsin Geocaching Association - https://www.wi-geocaching.com as part of the https://www.wi-geocaching.com    Wisconsin Geocaching Association (WGA) Fall 2023 Campout on September 16, 2023.

 

Warning. It is recommended that you cover your feet, legs and arms to do this cache. A hat might be helpful too. There are ticks, thorns, poison ivy, mosquitoes, and more. The landscape is uneven and there are many trip hazards.

 

GPS. The coordinates for this cache were taken on 8/17/2023 using a Garmin GPS and also an iPhone 12 on T-Mobile service. Cell service was very weak. Best effort was used to get good coordinates. The coordinates were rechecked on the return visit to place to container and adjusted if necessary. Cacher’s using phone devices may want to plan to download the caches of interest for potential off-line access due to potential for weak cell signals.

DNR form 2500-118 (R 6/06) was completed and submitted via email to Kevin.Swenson@wisconsin.gov, Blue Mound State Park Property Manager, per the DNR nofification process.
