Cross Over the Bridge--Old Abe
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
Assuming you are travelling on Hwy 178, turn onto Cty. Y and cross over the bridge towards Jim Falls. The above coords are for the first stage which will give you the clues for finding the cache, located nearby.
You see many things in our area referring to "Old Abe" and at this location you will be able to read his story. The clues for the actual cache are at this monument. I placed the cache in another area so you can learn this story and yet keep the monument area in good condition.
Going to the cache area, you will have quite a nice view looking down the river. You could bring a fishing rod and try your luck here too.
Caution: There is poison ivy not too far from the cache so watch out for that.
