Geocache Description:

Is it the hide or the location? In the case of this cache, it is the location! Enjoy this Dead End Road cache and the view.

Camp Will-O-Rill was a Girl Scouts of Milwaukee Area property from 1948 until October 2006. With the pending merger of the various Girl Scout council's in this part of the state, I am sure all camp properties are being evaluated.

This cache was originally placed during the closing ceremony on Sunday, October 22, 2006 but I waited before listing it. You can get to the cache by STAYING ON PUBLIC LAND and still see part of the former Girl Scout camp. Enjoy the view of the Milwaukee River.

On the north side of the road, you will see one of the three Troop House buildings. This was the Farm House. Stay on the road, respecting the signs.

I have many memories of camping here as a girl and again as a leader.

In front of the Farm House building, there is a wooden bridge. My troop of girls built this bridge over Halloween weekend in 1986 - and it was still standing at the Camp Closing in 2006 when this photo was taken. It is unfortunate the bridge can not be seen from the public road.

Enjoy your STOP at this Dead End! Bring your own pen or pencil to sign the log sheet. Thank you for putting the "container" upside down so the opening is facing the road when you are done. This will make sense once you found it.

Attributes: scenic view, takes less than 1 hour, available in winter, available 24-7
