Okay all you veterans of geocaching – yes all of you that have logged numerous finds.
It would be fun to know what your favorites are in Wisconsin (like your top ten or whatever) and for what reasons.
It would be interesting to compare the differing opinions. It would also give insight to others on ones to put on their “must do” list.
So share a bit of your experience and let the opinions be known.Here is my list, Arlene may have a slightly different list…
- [*]Moscow, We Have A Problem
We arrived in Manitowoc around 7PM, checked into out hotel and had dinner. We had spent the day hitting caches along the lake front from the Illinois line north. As we pulled into town, we had gotten the answer to the first stage of this multi. As we finished dinner, we could see our target for the second stage in the darkness out the window of the resturant. We decided to take a moonlight stroll on that warm night out the breakwall to the navigation light and complete stage two. It was a wonderful night under the moon as we climbed up the light and just stared out into the lake.
[*]Eagle Eye
I believe we set the record for finding the first stage, under 5 minutes from arriving at ground zero. I had been looking forward tothis method of hiding a cache from when we first started caching.
[*]Rockin & Rolling on Gibraltar
The best view in all of Wisconsin (that we have seen so far)
[*]WI Geo-Campout – Angel Dust
This link won’t provide any info on this cache as it was one of the temporary night caches at the WGA 2001 Geo-Campout. The hike down the glittering trail, the dimly blinking cache winking at you from under the brush, and WHAM/FLASH when you picked it up. What a blast!
[*]Grant’s Tomb
Beautiful park, and sneaker surfing!
[*]Lake by a Lake
Another beautiful park; both the beauty of the flooded quarry and Lake Michigan
[*]Ottawa Panarama
Beautiful view on the approach, neat final hiding spot, and a challenging find that gives a sense of accomplishment. So many folks have had trouble on this cache, reporting it missing, that we sort of became its volunteer guardians. We have made a number of trips to verify it was still present, but the most memorable was one night it had a few reported missing notes, so we headed out around 10:30PM and hunted it by moon light, spooking a boy scout troop camping near the cache. (Noticing a moonlight trend yet?)
[*]A little bit of Paradise
One of the most scenic, gentle, refreshing parks we’ve found since moving to Wisconsin.
[*]Training Camp
A fun challenge of compass work, reckoning, and searching and a most challenging method of hiding, especially if done during Fall.
[*]Mr. Elver’s Cache
We had saved this for our 100th cache. A great multi that uses many methods to find each stage. A good hike to boot!
[*]Root River Parkway
A halloween themed multi cache we hunted by moon light (there we go again!). One of the pirates used as a waypoint showed up at our house after the cache was closed down for our Christmas cache event.
