Following an intensive three county search on ATVs and sometimes by foot an elusive hidden treasure was found last week. Jan & Frank Holmes of Couderay found a golden spike that is part of a Tuscobia State trail promotion by the Department of Natural Resources.
“It was all in good fun,” said Kathy Oginski, the trail’s manager, “and the Holmes along with others enjoyed many rides on the trail in search of the spike.”
The Couderay couple found the spike on June 12 at the base of an historic milestone marker just west of the Sawyer/Price County line. In their search they were aided by clues put in local newspapers since the kick off of the event on May 15.
As part of the trails promotion anyone who found the spike also won a "Trailside Camping" package consisting of a 4-person tent, his and hers fishing poles, one night of camping at Ojibwa Park, a slim line cooler, water bottle & thermos and a Tuscobia State Trail tee-shirt. All the prizes were donated by local businesses, private individuals and Friends of the Tuscobia State Trail.
The trail is a 74-mile former railroad grade that runs from Park Falls in the east to Rice Lake in the west. Sixty five miles of the trail is open to ATV use- from Park Falls to Birchwood. There are a number of spur trails which allows for a seamless ride across northern Wisconsin. The communities along the trail provide food, lodging, gas & camping.
