Did you know that Roche A Cri is the first State Park that granted geocaching permissions in the State back in early July 2002?… it was because of Ranger Dave Hladilek understanding how I felt of the sport.. that he gave me permissions.. and the trust that he gave me as well. Before that.. all geocachers hid caches without asking.. because they thought they’d just say “NO”.. So.. historically.. Ranger Dave Hladilek is important to the history of geocaching in Wisconsin Sate Parks.. I hope he takes pride in the fact that he wasn’t afraid to try something new.. It is our loss to see him transferring to another park…

(Behind the scenes: worked with Ranger Dave when I first started Geocaching back in May 2002 to set up the Roche A Cri series… wanted the series to highlight the historical value of the park and not just focus upon the hides.. Ranger Dave had to jump a few hurdles and my caches were finally approved and shown in early July)

I applaud Ranger Dave for giving Geocaching a chance! Having done the series, I know how concerned he must have been about the park. It’s a great series (all except the 900+ steps up…LOL!)!
I also applaud you Lorrie! You have done some wonderful work taking people to so many beautiful and/or historical places.
Thanks to both of you!!!

Lil Otter did a great job getting cooperation from Ranger Dave. Our collective WGA hats off to Lil Otter and Dave!
In June of 2001, I sought and was granted permission by Ranger John Wald for my Pike Powder Hike geocache in the Pike Lake Unit of the Northern Kettle Moraine State Forest.
