Since you mentioned The Artful Dodger, I’m guessing you’d consider others in Governor Dodge. We did most of them and enjoyed them all. There are also two EarthCaches in the park as well.

You aren’t that far from Richland Center, where GR8 Eyes has put out a boatload of caches geared to newbies. Also check out two there called “Richland Center Towers” and “The Out of Towners.” Challenging hike up some trails that overlook the valley below.

I did one on the southern side of the Wisconsin River that was a challenging hike up the (very steep) side of a bluff, that had a great view of the river and the Iowa bluffs in the distance. GCTVZH

That area is kind of cache sparse, but most of the ones there are nice ones. Have fun! Hope this helps.
