Geocache Description:

There are many ways to celebrate the summer but our connection to and enjoyment of the water is a time honored tradition. In the warmer months we flock to the beaches and marinas to swim, dive, fish, water ski, snorkel and enjoy the hypnotic allure of the water. The weekend of Labor Day is the traditional end of summer and last weekend the marina is open thus I thought it would be fun for us to get together and enjoy the water one last time (again).

Location: Shawnee Mission Park Marina

Date: Saturday September 5th

Time: 10:30 AM – 11:00 AM

Requirements: You must get close to the posted coordinates in the lake, no logging from the shore

“Get your towels ready it's about to go down
Everybody in the place hit the deck
But stay on your toes
We runnin this, let's go”

The original intent was to make this a one time event however the feedback I received at last year’s event was that many people would like to do it again.  Factor in that several of my caching friends have picked up their own water craft since the last year and it looks like we are going to be on a boat again!

To prevent any miscommunication I am including a clearly defined start and end time with a duration of 30 minutes. Our illustrious javthrowr has once again agreed to take a group photo for us. I’ll be at the posted coordinates with the log and you are free to come up and sign it anytime in those 30 minutes. I will make every effort to include anyone who wishes to participate but must ask that you make it to the official log on the lake. 

The fine people at the Marina are aware of our event and while they can’t reserve any boats for us they are confident that they will have some type of craft to rent for every cacher wishing to participate.

The marina has a covered shelter above the rental office for those who wish to only watch or take pictures.  This will also serve as our rain out contingency meeting spot (after all there will still be water everywhere).
