What is a renaissance man? Someone who knows something about nearly everything. This may have been possible centuries ago but in today's world of specialization and exploding knowledge, this is not possible.
But what about an 'active' renaissance man, a renaissance 'outdoorsman?' Someone who does a variety of outdoor pursuits, and does them well.
This cache is dedicated to someone I consider just that, Al Czecholinski. He climbs, hikes, runs, backpacks, road bikes, mountain bikes, and perhaps does other outdoor activities I don't know about. Al has done these activities all over the USA, and the World. For example, he has climbed El Capitan in Yosemite. That's pretty hard—I know, I looked up the wall from the bottom once.
Al is an outdoor multi-tasker! Got his start in the Hoofers at the Univ Wisconsin.
This cache is placed under a rock, symbolizing rock climbing. The cache is near Lumpy Ridge/Gem Lake, known for climbing and hiking. The cache is on Devils Gulch Road, which is often used by bikers and runners. A renaissance cache? Not quite, but it does cover several of Al's many outdoor pursuits.
No need to cross any fence. About 20 feet away is a USGS survey marker.
