Geocaching (pronounced geo-cashing) is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking treasure. 
A geocacher can place a geocache anywhere in the world, pinpoint its location using GPS technology and then share the geocache’s existence and location online.  Anyone with a GPS device can then try to locate the geocache. www.geocaching.com for more information.

The Sylvan Lake Treasure is a Multi-Cache for only Sylvan Lake Residence.
In this hunt you may walk over a mile.  There are 5 total coordinates to find the treasure.
The 1st coordinate leads to the 2nd. Etc.  The terrain is easy.
This geocache hunt starts at a “start waypoint” that will provide you with the coordinates to the next waypoint.

... if you don't have a GPS try putting the coordinates in Google Maps...

DIRECTIONS: 
Go to the 1st start waypoint coordinates:  N 42º 14.583,    W 088º 02.631.
You're searching for a new coordinate.  The clue: the new coordinate can be found on the back of a very prominent bulletin board. Go to this new location.

At the 2nd location search for the next coordinate: clue- “if you are not too tired.” Go to this new location.

At the 3rd location search for the next coordinate: clue- “it is written under the tower.” Go to this new location.

At the 4th location search for the final coordinates of the Treasure: clue- “on electronic communications”.

The Treasure is very cleverly camouflaged and made to look like part of the environment. 
             It is approximately 4 inches in diameter and 14 inches long.
