Cadott's Mill Pond and on the Yellowstone Trail
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
Just north of the Yellowstone Trail, you will find Cadott's dam and mill pond. A small old wheel house still stands, now in disuse. To follow the Yellowstone Trail in this area, just follow higway X in either direction.
The coordinates above take you a brand new historical sign giving the history of the Yellowstone Trail in the area, and about 10 feet west of the sign is a wood statue of a Cadotte Fur Trader. Read the historical sign and look at the carving on the Fur Trader to get the answer to the clues.

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.
