Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE COORDINATES LISTED ABOVE!

Again, don't go to the coordinates listed above, unless you plan on being a traffic cop in the middle of one of the area's most dangerous intersections. See the description below to find the real location for this cache.

I found my 100th cache and 100th travel bug/coin at the same time on January 11, 2004 at Bryna's Bug Bucket. My 100th travel bug was Hoosier Daddy. In honor of my 100th milestones, I decided to place another cache. Since I'm a travel bug fanatic, what else would be more appropriate than to make this a travel bug exchange cache. Remember, if you take a bug, you must leave one behind and mention it in your log. The cache container is unique and is hidden in a spot near, you guessed it, Highway 100 (get the theme here?). If you're familiar with Hwy. 100, it's a major highway that covers most of Milwaukee County. Therefore, the cache could be in the northern, western, or southern part of the county.

There's a twist to finding this cache. In order to find the correct coordinates, you must be a travel bug yourself. You must hunt down two travel bugs that are placed in caches within Milwaukee County. One TB has the north coordinates and the other has the west coordinates. Please follow the guidelines on the travel bug pages for moving the bugs.

The difficulty when near the actual cache is probably a 2 rating, but a 4 rating is given for all the extra caching you'll have to do, with the fact that the caches the travel bugs are in may be easy or challenging, and that a fellow cacher may get to one of the bugs before you get to it, which then you'll have to wait and see which cache the bug will be dropped in next.

The first person to find the cache is welcome to take my 100th find geocoin found on the inside of the log book and help move it along. Please cover the cache container well after you find it.

It would also be interesting to see how many miles you have traveled to actually get to the cache (kind of like keeping track of mileage for a travel bug). Use the trip computer feature on your GPSr and post your mileage in your log. Good luck to all!
