The short suburban trail is family friendly. There
are no briars, raspberry bushes, stickers, thorns, cockle burrs,
or sticktites. At least, I couldn't find any! The
cache is a cylinder about 6 inches long and 2 inches in diameter.
It contains a log, pencils and a pen, so far.
The coordinates given for this cache are parking
coordinates. Please do not park on local culdesacs. The trail
head is located at N43 19.897 W088 16.133. Parking is located in
a huge parking lot located at N43 19.811 W088 16.053. Click here to download trail head and parking coordinates

The puzzle is similar to a crossword puzzle. Unlike a
crossword puzzle, not all intersections are part
of the other word. When completing the puzzle, click on the links
for help. Then use the key coordinates to find the location of
the cache. Click
here to download the puzzle for use with printer. To print
the entire puzzle on one sheet of paper, change the format of the
printing to landscape.
Directions:
- Suppose coordinates and clue were: B2(Across) Author
of this cache. The answer is rpaske. Place the
letter r at the intersections of letter B and 2, the
letter a at the intersection of B3, etc. Continue to
spell the rest of the clue across, left to right.
- If the answer is made up of two or more words, do
not include the space(s) in the puzzle. For
example, if the answer was Pine Tree write the answer as
pinetree. (See, no space.)
- Do not include punctuation marks.
Each of the clues is a hyper link to the answer. I wonder how
many clues can be completed without using the hints! When a find
is logged, feel free to write how many of the clues you were able
to solve without having to use the link
