Welcome to the 2017 Oconomowoc Area Historical Tour – A Geocaching Adventure. We will have 25 new Geocaches that will be located around the Oconomowoc area at historic sites, buildings, parks and events that took place throughout this area.
We tried to place the caches with various levels of difficulty, but the event is definitely family friendly and good for first-timers and experts. Event will be held rain or shine!
The first 50 Teams to register on this Event Page at Geocaching.com will receive a little Oconomowoc Swag.
The first 100 teams to achieve 25 points are eligible to receive a collectable 2017 Oconomowoc GeoCoin, trackable at Geocaching.com. You must sign the physical cache log for each Geocache you find and record your find at Geocaching.com to be eligible. One coin per team with completed and signed booklet.
Remember to record the stamp with the stamp (provided) from each cache in your Oconomowoc Area Historical Tour Booklet!
Please post “will attend” if you plan to join us

5. Teams may have as many members as they like, but remember, your official scorecard must have the stamp (which will be provided in the cache) to validate that you found the cache and receive a point for that cache. No cheating!
6. All caches are located so there is minimal disturbance to the land or environment. Please be sensitive to the property that you are on. Teams are instructed to obey all posted signs on all of the properties where geocaches are located.
7. Some caches have separate coordinates for parking. Please park only in designated parking areas. Please be sure to park fully off the road and do not create a hazard.
