Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the coordinates listed above. Do not go there unless you can navigate or are properly dressed for the occasion.

Please note that the final is offset, so follow the listing information on how to use the geochecker solve.


Winneconne Who? Who hid the first cache in Winneconne this year? Who placed the most caches in Winneconne on one day? Who got the FTFs on all those caches in one day? Who placed a cache near a local archaeological site? All of these cachers have some significant contribution or connection to Winneconne’s emergence as a caching community. All figure in the solution to this puzzle. This cache will require you to know or learn a bit more about caches or cachers connected to the community that the final is near in order to make the find.

.

The cacher who placed the most caches in Winneconne in one day added B new ones that day.

After the year 1HIJ, Late Woodland communities no longer lived in southern Wisconsin.

The navigator of the Spirit of 44 hailed from the WXth State. FG=WX times 1.5.

A familiar cacher with the most FTFs in one day in Winneconne has the number YZ in his/her identity.

A=I minus J. CDE equals YZ times nineteen, plus B times 2.

You are looking for: N 44 AB.CDE W 088 FG.HIJ Please use appropriate stealth at the cache location.

The final is offset from the solve, so you must subtract .035 from the north and .028 from the west geochecker solve: Geochecker.com to find the new final. If you go to the apple tree you may find a temporary micro container, but the small cache with the original log, swag, and the green rover is somewhat southeast of the old hide spot. Sorry, this adjustment keeps from having to change the puzzle, and who wants to try to change history?

Congratulations to sloughfoot for the FTF on October 24!
