Looking for outstanding can’t miss caches near Shawano, WI

[Mathman]

I did a local search which included my found caches. HOLY COW! There are a lot of caches here! I forgot to tell you about the “Frost Forest Series.” That was a well put together cache series too and fun to do.

I went to Tennessee in June to help out a friend, but did attend an event while I was there and had a great time. The mountains are beautiful! An active forum for Southwest Virginia, Northeast Tennessee and Western North Carolina is Tri-Cities Geocachers. BigD740 organized the event I attended and offered to take me out caching. Unfortunately it didn’t work out with my schedule. I guess he likes to make some great cache containers. I would suggest posting on the forums about a month before your trip, or attending an area event if you have the chance. I felt very welcome at the event I attended. It was at Breaks Interstate Park, great area to cache in a just a beautiful area to visit. If you are looking for a cache dense area the Tri-Cities area is the place. Here is a quote from their home page:

The Tri-Cities Geocachers group is proud it say we have over 1700 caches within a 30 mile radius of the Tri-Cities area (from cache waypoint GCNPAE). We are even more proud of the fact that we are very handicap cacher oriented. Of the 1700+ caches, 370+ are rated as a 1 terrain. Of these 370 caches, more than 215 are rated 1 terrain and 1 difficulty. We are diverse and happy to host disabled cachers. In the Tri-Cities, there is something for everyone. Come cache with us!

I would also highly recommend “spare rib.” We were able to get to this one without going through the state park itself by taking the old quarry road on the north.

If you do GC12A78, it gives you parking directions to find that road. Then from that cache, just walk about .5 mile more to the west on the road.

From there, it’s a climb to the top, but it was still less hazardous in my opinion to taking the “beyond the trails” way from the state park itself which we had attempted the day before.

On the Left Side of the Road...
