How about the Amana Colonies? Or somewhere in Kentucky?
Oh the woes of the short geocacher!
Very funny! They keep adding roundabouts in the Milwaukee area and people get so confused! Thanks for the laugh.

No kidding! 😆 Way to be specific there in the description. Actually, I have been googling and I can’t get much information on this lake. Maybe it is just too obscure to get to it after all. Too bad, that would be one FTF to be proud of!

Hey thanks for posting this one. I am actually going through Montana this summer and may possibly be able to fit this into our trip. I will see what I can do. 🙂
I noticed that there are hardly any EarthCaches out there. I think they just are a lot more popular around here than they are in other parts of the country.

I love this! My wife and I seek these out and now there is a source to find them! Looking at your list we have cached 5 out of 6. The 6th was pre- caching and now I have a reason to go back.
Looking at your list, I was utterly shocked (just kidding) that you missed:
GC8E5E Lumberjack Totems
Can’t give any more information without giving it away…. Please check it out.

I saw this one, it isn’t far from where we have property up north. It has been bookmarked and I can’t wait to find it!

Can somebody tell me if these are winter-friendly? And I’m talking about in a few weeks when we have even more snow. Thanks!

Apparently I should have looked over the WGA site more thoroughly before. I have created 4 EC’s so far and I just agonized about what to write in my letter asking for permission. This would have made life much easier! Thanks for posting this.

Ok mine is not a great EC but it is one I will never forget. GC1GRPB Cream City EarthCache. I was out making run at Gold Level when I wen tot do this one. The cache owner states he has the permission to use this area. However it seems the guy who gave the okay had a habit of doing this type of thing and not telling anybody, and to make matters worse he has since retired.
So, here I am ignorant of this, go to GZ and get the info (by the way some great history here) and I am taking a picture to post when a car pulls up ans starts asking questions. You know the usual, what are you doing type questions. Then the whole thing goes bad, see the cache is at one of the old buildings behind the VA Hospital and I am trespassing on Government property. Oh and he is Homeland Security.
Additionally he informs me that the photo I had just taken could subject me to arrest. He demands the name of who placed the cache and as you all know we never use our names in our ID’s, well I knew whose name was listed as the cache owner, but I didn’t think Pawn of Chaos was the right answer to give. Thankfully I met the cache owner recently and was able to give a first name.
Now I suspect this guy was waiting out his days to retirement and guarding buildings that have not had any activity in 30 years is pretty boring so I suspect I was his entertainment for the day. But after 45 minutes I had to delete the picture from my camera and was told to leave. Which I promptly did.
I have been approached by police officers in the past caching and they have always been pleasant in their approach. Not this guy, but then how many of us can say we have been detained by Homeland Security.
The cache owner has disabled the cache as he locates a new spot for it, me I will never forget this one
Wow, this is a great story! 😆 It made me laugh. I have done the current Cream City EC and I really enjoyed it. I would guess that this is a different building than when you did it. I can just imagine giving the name “Pawn of Chaos” to someone detaining you for national security! Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations on 3500! Wow! It was great meeting you a few weeks ago. I hope to see you at the Janboree next month.
