This one wasn't overly difficult, and the hide was not one of the cleverest I had seen before but this is the type of cache I've found most intriguing and most enjoyable.
Short walk in from the highway, I got there, found the cache in 30 seconds because you go "what is that?" when you get there. Then you go why was that here and no other remnants?
I spent another 15-20 minutes just turning circles looking for clues of what may have been there but is now long recycled by mother nature.
If you are up in Florence county its a quick, fun find!

Did you see the hole in the tree where the porcupine hangs out? I, (Mrs TE) almost got a hand full of quills looking for the cache. We made that one a bit more exciting by doing it during the 12 year old gun deer hunt... I agree with the why/what question there. Interesting that is for sure.

Definitely a unique spot for a cache. Dad and I both enjoyed this one. The porcupine residence was an added bonus. You can't miss it. Look for the 2ft pile of PP(Porcupine Poop). Looks like someone dumped a 20lb bag of dog food. |

I did that cache as part of a group with Jeremy, Marc and k0rpl last fall and that was a highlight of our (quick) jaunt across northern WI, trying to pick up Delorme pages. We actually looked around for a while before discovering it, then thought it was the coolest hide of the day....come to think of it, it might be worth nominating for COTM.

I missed the porcupine pile, thankfully, that would've been my 2nd run in with big porcu's this summer! |

I found this one today. It was easily my favorite of 31 found today as I traveled across the state. I think I found the porcupine pile. A deer hunter seems to have set up shop in the area as there is a salt lick within 20 feet of the cache. |

Things that make you go, "hmm?" A different place. The anticipation was strong until the last log I read before leaving on our camping trip. It revealed the mystery. It was still neat.
But speaking of Florence County...
