Letterbox Name: Holy Hill
Location: Hubertus, Wisconsin (add to Milwaukee area, Southern Wisconsin
Letterboxes)
Terrain: easy
Planted: September 2, 2001
Clues: To find this box one must follow His way. After falling the third
time, but before being stripped of His garments is an unpaved path not of
Righteousness leading away and down. Examine the largest wood pile for that
which is hidden. After it is revealed, continue up to the last of the
Stations and climb as high as you are able for one of the finest views in
southern Wisconsin. An interesting landmark regardless of your belief.

Bob,
How far of a drive would you say this is from Chicago? :)
Thank goodness for another letterbox in the area (sort of).

Hubertus, (Holy Hill) is about 25 minutes West of the NorthEastern suburbs
of Milwaukee. I'm guessing slightly less than 2 hours from Chicago area.
Unless you want to see a lot of people or attend services avoid Sunday's.
Dierdra has planted another box at Tyranena Park in Lake Mills, WI about 30
minutes outside of Madison.
Let me know if you find Holy Hill. I think it's an easy one, but I'm sure
everyone who plants one thinks that.
Bob

So, if one were to go up to Milwaukee hunting for this new box, do
you suppose that it's possible to hit Tyranena, search for some
Madison boxes and still come home to Chicago the same day? :) I
guess overnight in Madison wouldn't be such a bad idea. Is the Eagle
letterbox along the way to Tyranena too?
Thanks,
Ginn
(trying to find as many letterboxes in a weekend So. Wisconsin trip
as possible...why am I doing this...blame the paisley orca!)
Just kidding Amanda! You know I love this stuff thanks to you!!!
Um, hubby contracted a bad rash during the last round of
letterboxing. I don't know that he'll be to eager to set forth again
come to think of it :(.

Hey Ginn!
I think you could do Milwaukee & Madison in one day. It would be a long
day, but it can be done. Once I made Door County a day trip and had a
great time! A lot of driving, though!!! Madison is a great town and
staying there is not a horrible thing. There used to be (might still
be) a great Turkish restaurant there that starts with an "O", I think.
It was a great dining experience, so you might keep that in mind when
you get hungry in that town!
Best regards,
Amanda Briles

Ginn,
Forget Madison. The only box still there is the Otis Redding, and frankly it
isn't much of a challenge. Tyranena is a temporary place holder and in my
opinion not as interesting as the missing Aztalan. Eagle is nice, and maybe
35-40 minutes southwest of Holy Hill.
Here's what I would do. Give me a week to plant my "Calatrava" box down
near the new Art museum. The area is wonderful, along the lakefront, with
our new landmark art museum expansion (opens Sept. 14) If you enjoy unique
architecture, there's nothing like it. (Think Sydney Opera House wonderful.
Look up: Milwaukee Art Museum) It's also near the 120 foot, handmade Lake
Michigan schooner.
Then you would have at least three, (Holy Hill, Calatrava, Eagle) close by
and you can see a variety of different scenery. If you like baseball, visit
the new Miller Park for an evening game.
Have you done any Geocaching? Sounds interesting.
Bob

Okay, Bob...we're going to wait for your box before planning any
trips. Besides, I need to figure out how to protect the hubby from
picking up anything while letterboxing. The bad rash was pronounced
as "poison ivy" by the doctor today. I had no idea Door County had
poison ivy!
Can't wait to see your letterboxes. This is bad...I've always passed
on going to Holy Hill and now I'm going because of a
letterbox...sheesh! :)
