The cache is located just a quarter of a mile off of the original route of the Yellowstone Trail, in the Homestead Hallow County Park. From Menomonee Falls, the trail went north where 175 is now, and then turned due north at Hilltop Drive, going straight to where Goldenale road is now, though the road is now bisected into 2 different roads (Hilltop & Goldendale) by the freeway.
This is a mystery cache. The coordinates listed above take you to a good place to park, but not the cache. To find the cache, visit (visit link) and solve for the following:
