The cache is a micro that's hidden on DNR managed land which means
that hunters could be present during the hunting season. The
location isn’t more than 100 yards from the parking area off
of Hwy 91 which is at N43 58.090, W088 51.972. Don't forget
to write down the code for the coordinates to the final of the
series.

On July 3, 1907 two storms ripped through the Town of Nepeuskun
near the Koro area. Both took the form of tornados accompanied with
rain and electrical phenomena. The first wrought immense damage,
attended with fatalities about four miles east of Berlin while the
second struck a little more to the west. The storm was the fiercest
in the vicinity of the D. Y. Troxell farm. Here, to use the words
of an eye witness, two clouds joined, one from the north and one
from the south. One cloud nearly touched the ground and ripped and
tore the Troxell home, barn and contents, so that scarcely a whole
piece of furniture could be located. The house was thrown toward
the south about fifty feet and then ripped and torn apart, while
the barn was thrown toward the north and completely demolished. The
clothing and bedding was strewn along the road and in the trees for
miles and cattle were found in the pasture with their necks broke.
Trees were were found impaled with boards and some were found with
“beards” of straw embedded in their bark.
Mrs. Frank Draves, wife of the operator of the farm was blown 50
feet by the wind and died a few minutes after she was found. David
Troxell was also blown a great distance and badly injured along
with his two children. Mr. Troxell eventually died from his
injuries. Many others were seriously injured from the storms.
Thankfully there was one report of a little boy who survived,
after he was carried away by the wind, when his clothing caught on
a windmill and he hung there until someone came up and freed
him.
