This is a night-only multi-cache.
The park is open until 10:00 PM 9PM (maybe
it has changed, I will check soon to make sure), please be done and
gone before then. Some light-duty bushwhacking is required at the
beginning and at the very end, but almost all of the way has
reasonably wide nice trails. The brighter the flashlight you have,
the easier it will be to find this cache. |

Park at: N42 58.526 W88 10.723,
there is no fee to get in this park from this location. Grab your
flashlight, GPSr, and spare batteries for both. Head to the
co-ordinates published above, which is waypoint 1 . Once there,
scan the surrounding trees with your flashlight until you see a
white reflector. On the same tree as that reflector will be a small
tag. Yes, there are co-ordinates there, you just have to figure out
how to read them. The only tool you need to read them is your
flashlight. Please do NOT take the tags apart.
Waypoint 2: Go to the co-ordinates you recorded at
the first reflector. Once there, scan the surrounding trees with
your flashlight until you see another white reflector. Again, on
the same tree as the reflector you will find a tag with another set
of co-ordinates.
Waypoint 3: Same instructions as waypoints 1 &
2.
Waypoint 4 to Final: Here you should scan the trees
with your flashlight until you find the reflector. Go to that
reflector. Instead of finding another tag, you should be able to
see the next reflector. From there, keep following the trail of
reflectors. Sometimes it may be hard to see the next reflector when
standing right under the present reflector. You may have to move
and shift a little bit (just adds to the excitement, eh?).
Final Cache: When you see two reflectors on the
same tree, you are at the final cache. It is a micro-cache,
hidden within 3 ft. of the double reflectors. The
original cache box was really really nifty, so much so that it was
stolen. It has now been replaced with a micro-cache.
Please replace the cache as you found it.
Return to your car: Hopefully you have enough
batteries left in your GPSr so you can navigate back to your car.
If not, you need to head in generally the Easterly direction. Total
hiking distance is about 0.7 miles. Total time should be between 30
and 90 minutes.
