"Temporary Caches will generally be located on easier terrain and walking conditions. Permanent Caches will vary based on location.
This is an annual event cache. The event will include permanent and temporary caches. Permanent Caches will be placed throughout the Greater La Crosse, WI area. Temporary Caches will be within a short driving distance or walking distance from Riverside Park, in beautiful downtown La Crosse WI. The event will begin at 10:00 am on Saturday, October 11. There will be a “how to” seminar free to the public. Included with the seminar will be a raffle drawing for awesome prizes and fun swag.." - geocaching.com: GC1FMNC
"The caches were absolutely spectacular - the scenery, wildlife, and a couple memories of a visit to High Cliff Park, scared like a metal post crossing that wavy bridge.
In Between "FA" and "B": I have lived in La Crosse all but 3 years of my 29 year life, and I have never hiked in that area. I will be back many many times, hike a little farther this time, and look forward to discovering new areas of this beautiful place.
This cache was a 4/5 difficulty, my first. With a little help from my guide, I was able to find it and gain a new level of thought for my next 4, or even 5!
I wish I would have looked at the registration sheet a little closer - we wanted to take off in a hurry, but I would have loved to find some fellow hide owners with caches I have found, and those I have communicated with that may have still have been in the park. I hope to join the La Crosse community, and I am sure after a little more experience I will meet many of you soon!
Thanks for everything, and to the guides, volunteers and especially STAMP 'n HAND!" -- geocaching.com: myside (me)

Cache #6 Festival Highline - GC1BFX2
"Small vitamin bottle bring your our pencil
A quick lunch time group of caches, can be a loop to the Marsh Trail System. This is a short cut between the Northside and the Southside on an old railroad bed which is part of the flood water dike system"
-
That trail surely calls for some shades! Fun catch though. Thanks! -- myside

[Geocaches]
I now have 5 total caches, thanks to mad_geek for this hobby introduction that is very much becoming a pashion of my own.
To the left is our fire at our campsite along the waters edge. The area never looses its appeal no matter how many times you visit.
Here is my first cache: Perrot Sunset Cache - GCYXTY.
"This cache is located in Perrot State Park near Trempealeau, WI. It is a very short walk from a parking lot.
This cache was placed during a perfect sunset after a chilly weekend of camping at the group camp. Container is a 2 quart camo thermos. The original contents were: pin on compass, pocket duct tape, rapala minnow(no hooks), plastic trout, scented candle, pig holding boquet, butterfly, World Traveler TB. Please send a photo of the sunset or sunrise with your log."
