Geocache Description:

This cache is hidden were the WaterHawks used to have there show when i was a kid.

The Waterhawks Ski Team is one of the most active ski clubs in the State of Iowa. The club was organized in September of 1958 with 16 charter members who had an interest in promoting ski safety, boating and family fun on the water. Membership increased rapidly and today has over 100 members. The team will be celebrating our 50th anniversary in 2008. The Waterhawks purchased Eagle Lake on November 16, 1993 as joint tenants with Rick and Margaret Reuter, their neighbors to the west. This purchase helped the team grow into the club you see today. The Waterhawks are very strong in both Show Skiing and 3-Event Skiing. They have taken the State 3-Event and Show team titles for numerous years. During 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Show Team qualified to attend the National Ski Show Championships Division 1 and finished in the top 10. The 7th place finish in 2005 was the best finish for the Waterhawks or any Iowa based team. For many years they have sponsored a Ski Day for students of the Vinton Braille School to allow them the opportunity to experience the joy of the sport. We have been fortunate to still have one of those students as a regular member of the team, Dean Maurer, along with his parents, Lowell & Darlene. The Waterhawks have been sponsoring a Ski Day for the Covenant Rehab Unit. Again, the day is devoted to giving them a fun day at the lake with boat rides and any type of skiing adventure they may wish to attempt with assistance from the Waterhawks volunteers. In October, the Haunted Halloween Hayride takes place in the woods behind Eagle Lake. The funds raised from this event go to the capitol improvements at the lake. These are quite visible over the last couple years. There have been many hours of volunteer help along with many of them being extended family and friends of the Waterhawks members. The large improvements on this site include the Concession Stand/Club House, bleachers and the outstanding new beach and “Waterhawks” wall. We, the Waterhawks, thank you very much for coming to our show and giving us the privilege to entertain you. Sit back….relax….and enjoy!
