    Hi Ken,
    A similar feature is also offered at Milwaukee Map Service,(Mayfair Rd, Milwaukee). They have a kiosk on the North Wall. I have not had any maps printed up by them yet, but the owner demonstrated it to me last fall. If I recall, price was comparable. Tyvek or similar paper, color, etc.

    RootRiver Prkwy Halloween Cache(Archived) has to be my hardest one. I transposed the last two numbers of the longitude when I entered them manually into my GPSR (for the first waypoint) I got to the creek, and the GPS said I had to cross to the west side. I vaguely remembered the cache page clues said all were on the east side of creek. Of course I believed my GPS, and not the guy that placed the waypoints, and I plunged across like an idiot. Good thing it was not the top of a cliff….
    Anyway, after searching around, and never finding it, I went back to my car and checked the printout (this was the first and last time I ever left a cache printout back at my car) realized and corrected my mistake, and did the rest of the hunt in wet boots. (And that was a long one)

    Of course the hardest ones, are the ones I never found.
    Regards,

    Thanks for the information. That explains the little picture of the troll on the waypoint placard under the bridge. It was a rather strange feeling to get to a spot that you think will make a good geocache or waypoint locaton, only to find one already there. Must have something to do with the geocachers “6th sense” one aquires after doing this for a bit.

    Best regards
