    I received this email last night. I’d like to help but I’ve got some foot problems that prevent me from committing. Anyone up to the task?

    Hi Steve,

    My son and I found your Paradise cache on Christmas Eve day last year. I
    thought it was a hard find. We looked the area over quite a bit, and finally
    found the scrap of flaging.

    My name is Bob Halser, and I really haven’t found all that many caches because I
    have a lot of other hobbies too.

    I was looking for a local geocacher who would be interested in helping some Boy
    Scouts learn about geocaching on April 24 at Mukwonago Park. We are with Troop
    152 in Mukwonago, but we live closer to your Paradise cache. Do you think you
    might be able to help us out that day? Maybe your friend would be interested
    too? Or would you know of someone else?

    Thanks so much for putting out a cache we really enjoyed the hunt.

    Sincerely,

    Bob and Mikey

    Hey, what is that troop doing geocaching on the date of the Root River Trail anniversary hike? Oh yeah, that’s right, I’m going to outdoor leadership training on that date so I won’t be hiking either. Eh, that’s OK, I’ve got plenty of Root River patches…

      Did he find someone? It’s a bit out of my woods (literally and figuratively) but I know my cub scouts really enjoyed it.

      I don’t know what happened. I did email him back that I was posting his request but never heard further.

      Yes, Lucien went to help Troop 152 with the Orienteering/geocaching camporee on April 24 in Mukwonago County Park. There were about 100-150 boys there and did map reading and orienteering as well as geocaching. They had 3 different types of caches for the boys to try to find. Many of the boys really wanted help learning how to run GPS’s that they had. Turned out to be a good camporee.
