Your Travel Bug returned home with mefrom “The Great Sub Chase” event held in Manitowoc WI by members of the Wisconsin Geocaching Association. We never traded bugs, just too many sub caches to chase!
This series of caches has a “bad” reputation for being very tough to impossible finds, miles of bushwhacking, and being many miles apart.
With 27 caches, each representing a submarine made during WW2 in Manitowoc, we did find the hides to be challenging but not impossible. Our team completed all 27, in 18 hours and 400 + miles (that does not include our drive time to and from Manitowoc). We also started on the leg work to complete the final 28th cache. It just got too dark and I think we got too tired to think anymore at that point. We suspect that we were the only team who accomplished all the caches which is so cool.
If you are near enough to Wisconsin, you might want to come try the series!
Most of the caches were micros, the caches that were ammo boxes were in quite out of the way places that I decided I would rather place yours in a more traveled cache!
