Row the Potomac Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Shinyguy: OK, so two people have told me this cache is on NPS land and shouldn't be there (actually, I think they're right), and one has threatened to turn me over to the authorities for endangering wildlife by placing a cache in this pristine wilderness area (I don't agree so much with that one). That'll teach me to try and help the sport by adopting a cache.

Row the Potomac is now gone for good. Hope to still see everyone out on the river, but don't bother to bring your GPS.

Geocache Description:

This cache requires an alternate form of transportation. It will take at least one hour from the spot I started from. Cache is a camo'd waterproof match container (thanks Pengie123 for providing the new container). Cache container is log-only. Please bring your own pen - it's a long way back to the car to get one.

This cache is a pleasant trip from transportation access points north or south. Please be careful the last few feet! Wear your PFD. Do not attempt this cache in the Winter unless you have proper gear. Be extra careful in Spring of the birds nesting on the island. Be careful in Summer: mosquitoes and ticks abound. Be careful in Autumn, as you might be distracted by the pretty colors.

Original description:

As of 3 JUN 04 I have found all of the geocaches in Washington D.C., so I thought I better contribute by adding one myself. I was able to get to the cache site, hide the cache and return in one hour. If you have your own transportation there are many entry areas.

Please recover cache so it is not visible to unintended visitors.
Thanks,
