Well i can’t help you about the status of the cache, but if you want to do it this weekend, I’m planning on going Saturday, (I’m camping in Rib Mountain for the weekend) If you would like to go with me your more than welcome too!

is it possible for someone to adopt this cache, and fill out the forms, to keep it going? if you don’t get a response back from the owners?

As we began setting up for the event in the morning I was approached by Mr. Bursaw as he was looking for someone from “geocaching” to talk to. He explained that he is not against geocaching but wants to know where the caches on Rib are placed. We walked over to this car and he further explained that last year they created a new master plan for the park that included blocking out a large portion as a State Natural Area. He said that if any of the caches were inside this new area he would like them moved to outside the area. Looking at his map I believe two of the three stages will be affected. The remaining stage is inside a large gray area listed as rental. I don’t know if that will be of concern to him or not.

He asked if we could get coords for him which my son did. I have sent them to Brian so the WGA can get back to Mr. Bursaw. If you want to do the Three Bad Ribs as they have been you should do them soon. From the information I looked at, I suspect at least two of the stages will have to be relocated.

As to having the cache adopted the Wausau area has had a batch of new geocachers recently and it should be no problem to get someone to adopt it if it comes to that. One Paddle Short might even consider it.
