Thanks to btouch for the theme format! And Rangers Dan and Ben for permission to hide.

The waypoint is in the Dodge County Public Fishing area. No need to find these coordinates - in fact, if you do your shoes will get really wet!

You will need to answer a few questions in order to get the real coordinates. All the answers for these questions are found in the Bible. The Cache, like the most of the questions, has coin and fish(ing) theme.

104 acre lake ~ Anglers 16 years of age or older must possess a valid WMA stamp and a current fishing license. Outboard motors of any horsepower may be used at idle speed only. Live bait is NOT allowed.. There is no parking fee, but the gates are closed and the road at the Rail Road Crossing is barricaded at sundown. Be especially careful at the Rail Road Crossing at the highway - no crossing gate. STOP, LOOK, LISTEN!

The real coordinates for the cache are:

N 32° 0A.CDE / W 83° 0B.FGE

A. We have the Old and New Testament in the Bible. What is the total number of books in the Bible? Subtract 57. This is your replacement for A

B. After Jesus had fed the Five Thousand with just five loaves and two fish. The disciples picked up the left overs…How many Basketful of broken pieces were collected? Subtract 5. This is your replacement for B.

C. In the Parable of the Talents. What was the total number of Talents given to the servants? Subtract 5. This is your replacement for C.

D. How many days did Jesus fast in the desert? Find the answer and subtract 34. This is your replacement for D.

E. How many silver coins did the woman have to begin with (before she lost one)? Subtract 8. This is your replacement for E.

F. Jesus also fed Four Thousand, How many loaves or baskets of leftover on this occasion? This is your replacement for F.

G. Peter caught a fish with a coin in its mouth what was the value (in drachmas) of the coin used to pay the temple tax? This is your replacement for G.

To help you check your answers, A+B+C+D+E+F=G = 38. If you want to verify your coordinates before hitting the trail, you can email me through my profile.

Near the end of the trail loop you will find a trash can (CITO) picnic table and a great view!
