  • As soon as I recover a bit, I have the honors of posting on this cache. The team felt since I put all of them thru this grief, then I should have First Posting Honors. Hey…… and we actually manager acquire a few gray hairs as we attempted to capture some pics. I convinced a few to risk the life of their cameras, as well as mine, and I have a few pics coming in……..I hope. My Camera took quite the beating. When I got back to where a few of us were staying for a long weekend, HUbby said “What war zone did our camera go thru????

Look for CO. “O”, make left on Co. “O” or Peterson Rd, then take another LEFT on Ingebretson Road, follow that and straight and it will turn into Fox Run Rd, then Norway Rd.

    That’s the best I can come up with form down the MIlwaukee way.

    From the NOrth, we’ll have to pick up 151 out of Fond du Lac then once thru Waupaun, pick up Hwy 33 then follow the same directions once we get to I39.


    Actually from the North, we can pick up Hwy 16 on the east side or Portage then take it over and not even have to get on I39

    I don’t own wadders and don’t plan on buying any jsut for this , guess I’ll have to suffer!

    Weather as of Tuesday, April 26 for Sunday, May 1, will be partly cloudy low of 37° and hi of 61°.

    List of suggested items to bring/wear –
    I am sure this stuff is obvious, but better safe than sorry I always say!

    Wear long sleeved shirt and jeans or other heavy pants

    Comfortable hiking boot – remember, this is a 6 mile hike!!

    Backpack
    Extra clothing/shoes
    Heavier work glove
    Protective eyewear
    GPS – that’s a given LOL
    Compass
    Topomap of area

    First aid kit (insurance car/ list of meds -always good to have, just incase)

    Flashlite/headlamp – bigger than a mini-Mag is preferred

    Walking Stick (Da Fu has a total of 4 to bring)

    2-way radios (the more the merrier) / cell phones

    Water/ sports drinks to carry with/for after
    Snack foods etc, for trek in and after.

    If you can think of anything else… bring it. Don’t want to pack too heavy!

    Meeting Time/PLace
