How Geocaching Works
This will be tough to find because the island likes to scramble your location.
If you take something, please leave something water related.
__________________________________________________
This cache is on Woodford Island, which about 100 yards off the southern shore of Clear Lake. During the summer, you should be able to wade/swim out, and during the winter you can probably cross over on the ice. If you take a boat, please be careful of the rocks near the island. While there, look for the remains of the Island House Hotel, which burned in 1870, on the eastern end of the island.
