Milwaukee’s greatest asset is the lake. Here’s a few that are along Lincoln Memorial Drive(Lake Dr.) and downtown. A 2.5 mile drive along the lake that has some great views.

GC22K8K Our Bookshelf – Puzzle, not too tough. A great park. Be sure to check out the posted coordinates as it takes you across a cool bridge to an old metal light house.

If you would need help with the puzzle send me a PM, I think I could help 😉

Added this one to CJ’s “Solved / Unfound” bookmark list.

I know this is diverting the thread which I’m normally against . . . but I’m only doing this because apparently some really great caches have been suggested . . . the real question should be . . . where are the best deep fried cheese curds to be had?

Thanks again for the tips!

I am wondering what kind of weather should I pack for?

Any awesome hike in the wood caches that are not to far of a drive?

Not to far from where you are staying is the Holy Ground GC144ZV

We did this awhile ago and came in from the back side but the walk was nice and there are lots of trails and woods. Very interesting area.

Weather…think cold with light snow or rain. You are really close to the lake, so temps will be on the warmer side as Milwaukee goes. Figure 30-60° during the day, 20-40° at night.

As far as caches in hiking areas go, the closest is Grant Park (slide south along Lake Drive to South Milwaukee, which is a nice spot but perhaps a bit urban for your tastes. If so, you can go a little farther south to Cliffside Park in Caledonia, which is a bit more primitive. If you use up those two spots, center yourself on Whitnall Park in Hales Corners, which has both a nature center and an arboretum.

Hello,

I will be up in Milwaukee for the middle part of November to visit our new niece and do a little caching too.

Is that little niece named Aubrey by any chance?

No, Vonne.

Ah, well congratulations! 😀

Thanks again for the great tip everyone! I had fun finding of the recommended cache that I did and regret not using free parking Sunday to find the other recommended downtown caches that I missed.

I would also recommend the caches hidden at the Calvary Cemetery. That place is very beautiful!

I also noted that many of the Cemetery caches have ‘WSQ’ in their name. What is the story behind that?

The only thing I missed was running into any of you on the trail.

Thanks again everyone, I may be back in a year or so and you are always welcome in my neck of the woods!

“WSQ”, stands for Wisconsin Spirit Quest.

Here’s some history on how WSQ came about: http://wi-geocaching.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=5421&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Johnny – thanks for digging up this thread. I don’t think I ever read this one and found it interesting to see how the designation evolved.
