Happy Star Wars Day! May the fourth be with you!
From Wikipedia: "Star Wars is an American epic space opera media franchise created by George Lucas, which began with the eponymous 1977 film and quickly became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon. The franchise has been expanded into various films and other media, including television series, video games, novels, comic books, theme park attractions, and themed areas, comprising an all-encompassing fictional universe. Star Wars is one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time."
Well how could I host an event on Star Wars Day and not hide at least one Star Wars cache? This is a 2-stage multi-cache. At WP1 you will find what you need to find the final cache. You will have to follow some lesser-used paths and there may be some bushwhacking involved. At the final there is barbed wire just past the cache so please be careful.
At WP1 you will find some items that will lead you to the final container. Some basic knowledge of Star Wars will help but you can probably figure it out even if you're not a fan. You will find the final at:
N 43° 43.4(clone trooper)(jedi)
W 089° 05.1(clone trooper)(battle droid)
This cache is hidden at the parking area for Heart Lake. You can walk along the dirt path, which ends at the lake. There are a bunch of small dirt trails that branch off to different parts of the shore, which I assume have been made by people seeking the ultimate fishing spot. There is really only room for 2 or 3 cars so please be considerate as you're parking. Also, this is public hunting land so please pay attention to current hunting seasons and wear blaze orange to stay safe and visible. This is hunting land so please wear blaze orange during hunting season.
The Geocache Notification Form has been submitted to Bradley J Latza of the Wisconsin DNR. Geocaches placed on Wisconsin Department of Natural Resource managed lands require permission by means of a notification form.
