Geocache Description:

The tour Starts at Lake Houston, it then takes you up the San Jacinto River.

This is the last in a series of 10 caches placed in a tour intended to be taken on a personal watercraft. With the right equipment, these cahces should be very easy to find. Without a PWC, or light boat they could be very difficult to find. Each cache is about 4 inches wide by 6 inches long in a camoed pvc container. Each container is tied off to a tree with a green string. If you find the string, the cache is at the other end. Bring your own pen as the container was too short for a pen.

The caches are set as close to the water as possible, while still being hidden. Go to the tree line and start your search. If you enter from the water, you should not have to bushwack to find the cache. Although many of these can be accessed by land (don't ask me how), they are best accessed by water.

Get your jet ski and have some fun on this tour. The tour will take you to some beautiful and serene spots that you should enjoy. I hope the day is as nice as it was when I placed these.

WARNING: I have learned that when the water on the north end of the river becomes stagnent it can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Entering stagnent water can be a hazard especially if you have any open sores that come in contact with the water. Soon after leaving the lake, it is highly recommended that you wash well with soap and clean water. Also, you may want to avoid going into lake, or river water if you have any open sores, especially if there has not been rain in a while and the water at the north end of the river is stagnent.

On this cache (PWC Tour #10) beware of shallow water. In places, the water was only about knee deep at the time I placed the cache.

If you find the coordinates are off, please email me with the coordinates that you get and I will update them. I took the average from two different gps units. Most of the time the coordinates from the different units were very close. However, some were varied.

BEWARE OF SHALLOW WATER ON THIS ONE! This is the furthest upstream that I placed a cache on this fork of the river The water gets more shallow as you travel upstream. So, drive slow and make sure you are in deep enough water. I used my poking stick to check the water level.

Have a great time!!!!
