Travel Bug Rescue – Shawano Area

[Team Golden]

Hello – Apparently my Polaris Magnum travel bug has run out of gas. I am looking for help in rescuing it from a cache called The Legend of Navarino Bob (GC7937). The cache cords. are N44 39.570 W088 32.230.

I have tried e-mailing the cache owner to seek assistance and haven’t heard back. I figured this would be the next step. If anyone can help my travel bug move on it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Brian

I tried that cache back when it first came out and had a hard time figuring out where to park. Jason was not helpful when I asked if I could get to the cache from the parking area to the south of the handicapped duck blind.

The reason I asked is because at the time it was closed to foot traffic because of a duck study of some sort and it looked like the ONLY way in.

He would not clearify, and I refused to ever go back. This cache has been showing up on my nearest caches page for a long time, so maybe it’s time to swallow my pride and bathe in DEET because it’s over a mile and a half round trip in skeeter country!

Very effective Travel Bug Prison isn’t it when everyone waits until the water freezes before attempting.

Yes it is unfortunate that this cache has become a travel bug prison. I have to question if there is a marsh standing between the cache and parking area why is the difficulty only a 2 1/2? Also it’s funny how there is no mention of this in the description.

There is a trail system to the cache. Just a very long hike round trip is all. The trail system starts far enough away that it doesn’t seem possible that it would go to the cache but I am pretty much positive that it does.

I am planning to head over that way in the AM if the weather cooperates. I have to get that cache off of my radar screen.

Miata – Thanks for your help and good luck. Keep me posted.

The Mercenery style rescue went as planned! Plararis Magnum ATV is sitting on my computer getting debriefed. The breakout was much more difficult than expected!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

This whole thread just reminds me of just how much more I gain from caching than the hunt itself. Geocachers are great people and the helpfulness of some to assist in the improvement of the sport for others is wonderful!!

Also took a brief minute to read Miata’s log for this cache–hahahahahaha, luckily you had some good sights to enjoy while you got your weeks worth of exercise.
