Mrs. TE, wouldn’t that swamp furfool mentions be kind of where the snowshoe cache is located?
I didn’t have any good reference point while taking my photos, but they are definitely wolves. They were huge, our first sight had us thinking “deer running across.” Coyotes are half the size of wolves. We have seen them on highway 51, too. I don’t know if coyotes and wolve’s territories overlap much or not. Down near us, coyotes are the norm, but there are established and well-tracked wolf packs in the Black River State Forest.
I have to amend that. Neither of us is SCUBA certified, so those are not available to us. Has that one been affected by these recent storms?
We’re pretty much set to go after bandit’s Skeleton Keys and the two that follow that, so those will be our next 5/5s. Sagasu’s, well, I keep picking away at that one, no hurry! LOL
Thanks everyone. Jeremy, we’d mapped out this great route to get the counties over there too, then the storms hit. So….we’ll just have to go back and do our intended route sometime this summer! We missed a couple other counties along the way, but will be getting those eventually.
Our next challenge? Not gonna be another Delorme, we know that! We want to finish up zuma’s Northwestern 12-Pack and we’ve come really, really close to having everything in our 50 mile radius. Yesterday, we just had an event, a cache that’s been disabled since the end of 2006 cause it’s missing, and one cache left. We kind of, sort of have a goal to get all the 5/5s in the state. We’ve got four of them. I think there’s maybe 10 or so?
And how many does Noah have now? 😉 This is completely amazing, I look at what they accomplish in a day’s caching and I’m in awe.
Congratulation, Seth and Marie. And Noah!
The areas along the Kickapoo River were hit again in this mess, and the emergency officials are saying that it is actually worse than last August’s “100 Year Flood.” News photos last night showed Gays Mills downtown under water.
When we were coming home the other night, we drove through Elroy, and as we were driving west along 71, I said “Am I nuts? I don’t recall wetlands on this stretch of highway.” It was the Baraboo rising, and shortly after we’d passed through, parts of Elroy were evacuated.
For anyone affected by this latest round of storms and floods, our thoughts are with you.
Wow, that’s a ton of caches found and signed! Congratulations on a big milestone, Renae!
This was supposed to be our big day…finishing the Delorme pages, getting earthcaches, cleaning up some counties and other assorted goodies. We’d planned a great itinerary of fun puzzles, Kettle Moraine hikes, oldest cache in the state and other fun stuff, all with an eye to getting these things when we had to travel for a graduation party anyway.
Not to be. We basically got whatever we could between bolts of lightning to grab the delorme pages and called ourselves lucky.
Oh, and our basement…..it’s wet again. This will be the THIRD time since the August floods we’ve had to tear it up and replace padding. If this ground doesn’t dry out pretty soon, we’ll have to raise this place up on stilts!
Glad everyone made it through safely. Tornados here, but our place is okay other than the water.
We’re currently south of 29 in Manitowoc and the storms were nasty.
But we managed to grab Page 57 and 56 before it got really bad! 😀 Hoping to do a bunch more caching in the area tomorrow, but haven’t seen the forecast yet. Rain is fine. Lightning, no.
Thanks, it took a couple extra pulls of my hair, but that finally got the waypoints into the GPSr. Thanks a bunch!
For some bizarre reason, I’m not able to download that driver. I’ve tried numerous times and read the Help thing at Garmin’s site. I have the basic yellow eTrex. I know there’s some way to do this, because drhaas has loaded us from her setup.
Sigh.
I get my PQs loaded through GSAK, and put them in the palm with Cachemate. It’s just this last step I need to learn. I’m so frustrated at this point, we’ll get the basic caches we need to finish the stupid delorme and move on.
Did I say I hate technology? LOL

Seriously, congratulations Dan!
No, it’s not part of the park service, but the segment along this tristate area—I think for about 250 miles—is a USFW National Refuge.
That’s kind of what I figured. I’ll check with park office to see if the canoe trail falls into FWS area before we try to put anything out.
How much money did you spend on gas to accomplish this?
More than we’d like to think about, although we really tried to be smart about our driving for caches. It is a bit of a relief to let it go, though. I have no idea how some of you have managed in the HUNDREDS of days, THAT is incredible!
NOOOOOO!!!!! Let us get those last four caches in our area first, so Trekkin’ can be done with that goal and move on! LOL
