This multi-cache is located on La Framboise Island which is
surrounded by the Missouri River. To get there take the causeway
from Pierre. You can either walk or mountain bike the trails as
they are dirt, sand or gravel.
This cache will take you around the island where Lewis & Clark
camped in 1804. An excerpt from Captain Clark's journal talks about
the island:
September 25, 1804
"raised a Flag Staff and made a orning or shade on a sand bar in
the mouth of the Teton River, for the purpose of Speeking with the
Indians... we feel much at loss for the want of an interpreter the
one we have can speek but little... met in Council... envited there
Cheifs on board to show them our boat; soon began to be
troublesom... Proceeded on about 1 mile and anchored out off a
Williow Island, I call this Island bad humered Island as we were in
a bad humer."
The island mentioned is now named La Framboise Island and the Teton
River mentioned is now called the Bad River and it is visible from
the island.
CACHE: The cache is an ammo box sporting a geocaching label. The
clues are hidden in small rubbermaid containers painted
black.
The cache contains the following items:
- bobbing head dog

- blaze orange safety vest
- U.S. Presidents flip cards

This multi-cache will take place entirely on the island so expect
it to take at least 2 hours. Because there are no facilities on the
island be sure to take some drinking water.
Enjoy the walk and scenery. Often times you can see deer and wild
turkeys.
