Geocache Description:

We've hidden another ammo can on one of those cool little uninhabited islands in the middle of the Cape Fear River! This time you'll be visiting Keg Island, so dust off that river-going vessel. You're going to need it!

Welcome one and all to Keg Island! From the River Road Park you're a relatively short and easy paddle away from both the island and the cache. On the west side of the island you'll find a nice, sandy beach that's just perfect for landing your boat, soaking up the sun, hunting for shark teeth, etc. As you make your way to this side of the island, beware the sandy shoals along the northern end - you could get temporarily stuck here and all of the gulls standing on the shore will have a great time laughing at you!

Once you hit the beach, you will see that the island has many wide open areas that practically beg you to do some exploration. There are lots of nice woodsy areas here - we didn't see any particularly interesting creatures here (although the frayguy did see a stick that had an uncanny resemblance to a snake), but we know that they were probably hiding and watching us as we hid the cache. And be sure to check the beach for sharks' teeth and other treasures...when we were here we found a very old and very large shark tooth. We're talking museum-quality!!

We hope that you, too, make many wonderful discoveries on this cool island!
