This cache has been archived.

The Conman: Time for this annual event to be retired . . . just one thing I hate to do. It's one of my favorite events and I look forward to it a lot throughout the year.

Thanks for the wonderful memories.

See everyone next year!

Geocache Description:


What
For the fourth year for our Survivor Event - we will be visiting South Manitou Island.

When
The scheduled date will be August 13th - 9pm. However, we highly recommend you show up at least a few days early and enjoy Michigan's great outdoors! See the ship wrecks, the giant cedar forest, or kayak around the island.

Join us once again for this annual and unique opportunity of a 5/5 event. In order for you to join us - you must either have your own personal watercraft (not allow to be docked for more than 20 minutes) or ferry over to the island.

Who
Everyone with a sense of adventure is invited to this exciting event.

Why
Those who are looking for an adventure will find it here on South Manitou Island. South Manitou Island is home to some of the most unique parts of the United States.

How
Access to the island is by boat only. There is a ferry service that runs once per day that goes to both North and South Manitou Islands. It is run by Manitou Island Transit. Recommendation - book your tickets in advance otherwise there may not be room on the ferry.
