    I thought there was a thread somewhere on this topic, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. I am looking for a “numbers run” area in Wisconsin. I know about West Bend, and I have been there. And I live in GB, so there is nothing to be found in the Green Bay area.

    I am not talking about a nice afternoon run of 25 – 30 caches. I am saying, a well planned afternoon/evening into the next morning could yield 75+ finds.

    Thank you for your help.

    Winter time is not really the best time for this…..cache density is deceiving when they under an inch of ice….or were you planning ahead?

    There are a number of bike trails you could try…or are you looking for driving caches?

    I am planning ahead. Looking at spring time or summer.

    The Bugline Trail in Northern Waukesha County has 50+ caches and the surrounding area has another 200 within a few miles. A 100+ day has been done by quite few cachers here.

    I might be a little biased since I have 150 active caches in this area of which you could also probably do 75-100 in a long day.

    Spooner/Hayward/Minong/Barnes, Seeley areas is a good area if you were looking for a weekend trip. With the majority non-micros(If ya don’t include Barnes)

    Long days are not a problem. Thank you so much. This is the kind of stuff I am looking for.

    Any of major metro area’s with proper planning can be a 100 day. A day planned for 35 ended up getting 51 in appleton in the middle of winter if we had started off earlier and planned more 100 could’ve been done.

    There is(was?) a power trail just east of madison, old railroad bed.

    Nicolet State Trail and vicinity has a string of around 45 that’s on my radar. From around Laona Junction to Carter. Only about 20 miles. Yet being from Green Bay, you may have done it already.

    Wausau has lots of caches too, including the Battleship series, which I believe has over 100 caches.

      106 altogether. Most (99/100) of the “grid” caches are park n grabs. Could easily be done in a day.

      All opinions, comments, and useless drivel I post are mine alone and do not reflect the opinions of the WGA BOD.
