Weird Wisconsin anybody?

[The Happy Hodag!]

I remember that recently (this summer some time I think?) that there was discussion about putting together a series (or at least a bookmark) of caches that were close to attractions featured in the book Weird Wisconsin. I tried looking for that discussion this afternoon/evening to no avail. What ever happened to that discussion?

-The Happy Hodag!

The buck stops here. . .and gets entered into Where's George.

Where's George? Stimulating the economy one EMS'ed dollar at a time.

I just placed one at the Stone Elephant a couple of days ago…it’s in the book.

Keep your eyes peeled…..we have received permission for the placement of the challenge cache behind this idea and just have to get it over there and write it up.

Yes, Cemented in History is on the list. Once we get it published, that bookmark will go “live!”

Oh did I forget to mention it is a 3.6 mile hike to an EarthCache….. 😈

I’ve been trying to get to the elephant for the last 4 years. Maybe I’ll make it there next summer. 😆 This will just give me one more reason to try.

You know, Gary, it is only 3.6 miles if you use your parking coordinates.

Yes….I could never get an answer as to where those other mystery parking coords were. If they are at the John Muir parking area I’d rather folks walk longer than get run down by bikers….My IAT maps did not show another good entry either and the Google maps view was sketchy as well. If you know a safe non-biking trail access with good parking, I’m all ears.

I hate to be Captain Obvious, but how about parking at the next road crossing to the east? That is where we parked for Collectibles Cache.

Thanks Captain.

I will look into that location for parking if you have rough coords…I just read you log for “collectables” and it looks like the trails wander all over the place from that parking area making it tough to get to GZ.

Is that a designated parking area? The IAT folks are fairly picky about making sure all rules of caching / parking are followed. If I don’t have my I’s dotted they will yank the “IATCC” designation from my listing.

You could park at the Bald Bluff parking lot for this one, but the Captian is right, you can park on the edge of the road to the east and hike in west from there. The trail does snake a little bit, but it is closer to the parking at the east. AND if you watch your track back one section of the trail comes within 150′ of each other, you then cut off a quarter mile of walking. But it is a very nice hike. I cannot tell you its an official parking area, but you can see others have used for parking. Hope this helps.
