U.P. Bookmark List…Help Needed

[Team B SquaredMember]

Since moving to the U.P., we have started creating a bookmark list of caches that we feel are “Can’t Miss” if you are visiting the U.P. So far, we have 36 caches on the list that we have really enoyed for one reason or another. We live in the Escanaba area, so needless to say, the list is primarily focused in the central U.P. and is completely excluding (with one exception) the Keweenaw. I would like to make this list much more encompassing (including caches that we have not yet visited).

What I am asking for is your help! If there are any particularlly memorable caches that you have visited in the U.P. and you feel should be on the list, would you please take the time to email me and send me the cache GC# along with a short description of why you liked the cache. Please include attributes such as scenic overlook, waterfall, lighthouse, lake view, 2 track driving (along with road conditions if you remember them), nice hikes (along with approx. distance if you can recall it), creative hides, interesting location (and why), dam view, rapids, and anything else that you can think of.

I am not looking for an essay of each cache, just a one or two sentence description of why you liked it. I am hoping to create a bookmark list that will encompass the entire U.P. showing quality caches that visitors should not miss. I know that there are a ton of quality caches up here, and most visitors only have a week to visit, so I would like to have this list available for visitors to be able to visit the best quality caches that we can come up with.

Any cache recommendations are welcomed, you can email them to me at

brianbower(at)hotmail.com …replace (at) with @

Please check out the list I have already created to get a general sense of the descriptions I have made so far. Also, any comments on ways to improve the bookmark are greatly appreciated!

Strange … I copy/pasted your email and changed it to an @

Well, since I don’t see a reason to keep this secret, my suggestion are below:

We’ve only cached in the Iron Mountain area of MI … but here are our favorites from that area:

Piers Gorge (GCAAA3) … beautiful rushing waters and scenic paths with many slate out-croppings.

Fumee Falls Geocache (GCKMAK) … only a drive up wayside, but it has a beautiful little waterfall, very peaceful.

Thank you for the suggestions, they are both wonderful caches! Anyone else have any they would like to add? Thanks for the help!

We camped in Ottawa National Forest over Labor Day 2004 and two caches stick out in our minds. For an easy find, but fun history, we liked Henry’s Place (GC9AD1) in Baraga. For a breathtaking view (and lots of climbing exercise) we loved Silver Mountain Cache (GCHTDE) in the Ottawa National Forest. We only had the opportunity to log about 10 finds on that trip, but we’d recommend those two to anyone.

Thank you for the suggestions, after looking at the Silver Mountain Cache description, I really want to get over there and try and do that one this summer!
