This is a stand alone cache and also part of the HERE FISHY FISHY mystery cache.

Park at the gate. There is also a sign board with the map of the area.

This cache is located at the headwaters of the Mosquito Brook and the Mosquito Brook Flowage. The Wisconsin DNR bought this property in 1999 I believe. It is now open to fishing and hunting. The total distance is just over 3 miles for the loop.It is about .92 miles from the gate to the cache. So it's a very nice little hike. While enjoying the area, please stay within the marked boudries as there is private property also.

To retrieve this cache you will have to make a choice. To either take the long way around or to forge or jump the creek to get this cache.

Remember to look under the lid for the Number that replaces the letter "I" in the HERE FISHY FISHY mystery cache.

This is also a great place to snowshoe and a geat place to see eagles soaring and you might kick up a grouse or two

The reason for the 3.5 on the Overall Terrain Rating is because of the loooong hill on the way back.

You are looking for a gallon size camo painted container.
