Geocache Description:


Welcome to the U.P. Bermuda Triangle — a.k.a. The McMillan Triangle!
Coordinates may shift. Signals may fade. Snacks may mysteriously disappear.

Similar to its tropical cousin, the Bermuda Triangle, strange things happen here—but with more flannel and fewer cruise ships. This multi-cache forms a perfect triangle on a triangle-shaped piece of land, next to a triangle-named restaurant, in a town so small your GPS might need to stop for directions.

Be prepared for:
📡 Unreachable satellites (they’re probably just chasing auroras),
🌦️ Uncertain weather (could be snow, sun, or sideways sleet—sometimes all at once),
🌀 Mysterious aberrations (like how you swore you just passed that same tree twice).

Back in the logging days, old-timers said compasses spun, boots went missing, and some claim a perfectly good pasty once vanished right off a plate. Was it hunger? Sasquatch? The McMillan Triangle? We’ll never know.

If the nearby establishment is open, pop in and thank the kind folks for letting us hide this bit of mischief. Just don’t ask them what really happened to the last cacher who ignored the triangle’s power... 👀

Happy hunting. And remember: if you feel like you’re going in circles—you probably are. It’s a triangle, after all.

🔺 Choose Your Path Wisely
Before you begin your journey, look around you...

👉 If a light fixture is visible at the posted coordinates, follow the signal to N 46° 18.632′ W 85° 39.582′
👉 If no light fixture can be seen, your path leads to N 46° 18.646′ W 085° 39.635′

You can use Certitude to confirm whether you’ve made the right choice—or if the Triangle has already started playing tricks on you...

 

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

 

This cache was placed with the owner's permission and is available 24/7. Please be respectful of the area, and be mindful of high muggle presence both inside and out. Stealth is key—just pretend you're triangulating your lunch order.

NOTE: The difficulty is 3 due to the high muggle activity (at times). The Terrain is 3.5 due to potential snow depth in winter. There is a chance that this may not be accessible in deep snow conditions.
