I think I found our winner in Colgate (NW of Menomonee Falls). http://www.bassesfarms.com/cornmaze.html The next closest one would have been Deerfield, WI (between Madison and Milwaukee). I’ll try to get more info and perhaps set a tentative date on gc.com.

Drats! Fairwyn Farms in Burlington is not doing a maze this year. They always had a HUGE maze too. That’s strike #2. 😥

That would explain why their site is down. 🙁 That’s too bad.

Corn mazes are pretty cool, but can get frustrating if you get lost. One concern would be a bouncing GPS signal, as the stalks can get pretty tall!

What’s bizzare is, I seem to trail you by one day on each cache. Every time I go to sign a log, there’s a “Jay Mills” sticker right above my log. 😯

Oooh…only 154 miles away for me! Suits my screenname too! 😆

Now it shows 10 smiley faces with only 5 people that have found it…

Yup. He’s been doing a great job! He caught a few goofs I made on my mystery cache that I just published (GC12JM7). I sort of had to ruin the puzzle for him so that he could see it was doable. 🙁

[Greendale4X4]

Yup. Just saw that. I’ll let someone else have the FTF this time. Think I’ll grab my nephew and my dog and have a fun find tonight.

Isn’t it a drawback that you won’t be able to solve those pesky “mystery caches”? Or, maybe it’s a blessing. 😆

Good Luck!

Yup. He just approved a few of my caches. Since I want to be fair with Milw. Parks & Rec, I will only be releasing a couple of them until I get the proper approval.

After 4 days, I had the go-ahead from a GC approver to list my 4 caches in Milwaukee Parks. I have since decided to post only one of them, since it is on a paved trail. The other is in Racine County. I will remove the other two and find new homes for them.

Hmmm…no mention of it on his broadcast last night. However, he is hosting another geocaching seminar at the Schlitz Audobon on 5/5. Maybe there will be a May cache.

[Greendale4X4]

This is a shame. I *just* got into geocaching. Now I have to jump through hoops to get a simple micro approved? I know – whine, whine.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This won’t deter me from placing caches, but will definitely limit the amount I create, and where I place them.

I feel sorry for the guys/gals who have dozens of caches out there already… 😥
