Marinette county has some great parks and waterfalls. My wife’s family owned land just a few miles from Dave’s falls on the Pike River – one of the wild rivers of Wisconsin.

I would check this website http://www.stateparks.com/wi.html

One nice thing about this website is that it shows a map of the state broken down by area and you can click on the area and it shows which parks (and other areas) in that part of the state. We love the south western part of the state – we often drive over there along the Wisconsin River. If you don’t have a copy of the Wisconsin Atlas & Gazeteer – get one.

Don’t over-look county parks – here is a website that I like http://www.huntfishcampwisconsin.com/index.html

It offers more than hunting & fishing. Click on county parks and it bring up a state map with all the counties – we love La Crosse county. It shows a Goose Island park – beautiful park with a lot of caches and a great camping area.

It’s neat driving the back roads along the Mississippi River. Wisconsin is a beautiful state – get out and enjoy…

I only attended a couple of events in the few years since I joined this group, but I really appreciate and learned a lot from the discussions on the forum page. I haven’t placed any caches, and I don’t think I ever will, but I have learned what you CO’s expect from other cachers visiting your caches. From the activity on this web site and events that are planned/held I can tell that some people really work hard – thanks.

I was hoping to attend the recent events in Waukesha and Horicon, but it didn’t happen (I have a new grandson and another one plays hockey)! O’well maybe next time!

I was surprised to see, what I thought, was a low voter turn-out (117 members). It made we wonder how many members are there? From what I could gather from the different pages these are the numbers I found.
There are 125 members listed on the member map
The member list shows 5,180 (3,906 of these never posted anything to a forum).

I hope I’m not looking at it correctly.

BTY – I did follow the candidates discussions and I tried to make an informed vote.

Thanks again for all the work you do.

I found this to be an interesting book –

THE LIGHT KEEPER’S LEGACY by Kathleen Ernst

An island’s history holds clues to a modern mystery.

Solitude at last! Museum curator Chloe Ellefson jumps at the chance to spend time on Wisconsin’s Rock Island, a state park with no electricity or roads. On temporary assignment from Old World Wiscosnin to consult on restoring the island’s historic lighthouse, her research turns up fascinating tough-as-nails women from the past.

Chloe’s tranquility is spoiled when a dead woman washes ashore. Is it an accidental drowning, or has tension over tighter fishing regulations reached a dangerous boiling point? When a second body is found, Chloe finds herself trapped on remote Rock Island with a killer.

We noticed a few of these barns this past summer – will have to look at the cache series…

Very nice job on the map – thanks

Also received mine today… During the activation process it asks the question

Is Collectible:
Yes No

What does Is Collectible mean?

[grandpa_r]

I just reviewed the above link and ranked the most important options by what I use all the time – ranked by my importance
#10, 3, 1, 8, 4
Well worth the money…

[grandpa_r]

I’m in – thanks for bringing this to our attention. BTY my favorite book of his is the A Painted House…
