Geocache Description:

The Yellowstone Trail pretty much follows the route of highway 12 here, though, in Knapp the historic route went through town on Main Street, where there remain several old buildings. The Pleasant Dale School is here, and has been well maintained. If you look in the window, you can see old time school desks, still set up.

For this multi, first stop at the Pleasant Dale School, at the coordinates above. Then find the final cache, up the hill to the south. The final is at:

44.57.ABC
92.04.DEF

A = 0
B = The number of letters in the color of the old school
C = The number of windows on the north side of the school
D = 5
E = The number of the school
F = The number of windows on the east side of the school

This is one of several caches I have placed along the route of the historic Yellowstone Trail. The trail is a historic motor route that went across Wisconsin from 1918 to 1930. The Wisconsin portion of the Yellowstone Trail is 406 miles long, starting at the state line south of Kenosha and going north, and then west to Hudson. The Wisconsin segment is just a part of one of America’s first transcontinental auto routes, a 3,754-mile long road that started in Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts and went to Puget Sound, Washington.
