Geocache Description:

This is a .50 cal ammo can. It's hidden near an old well on an island on Lake Lanier.


Update 2011: Apparently the well's been filled in with dirt!


There's an old well at the top of this island. Over time it has developed a protective layer of wire, branches, and sticks to keep people from accidentally falling in. Please use common sense and keep a very close eye on the curious young ones.


 The Well

When the lake level drops to about 1061.5, this is no longer an island. A little sandbar connecting it to War Hill Park becomes exposed. When arriving by water, I'd park in the little cove south of the cache. The terrain is much more friendly on that side of the island.


A note about Trade Items, Travel Bugs, and Geocoins...

Please don't take a travel bug (TB) or trackable geocoin from this cache unless you intend to log it properly and move it to a new cache. Since trackables are not trade items, "Took a bag of marbles, left a TB" is not good. If you take a trade item from this cache, please replace it with something of equal or greater value. Then decide if you want to grab or drop off a TB or trackable geocoin.

Thanks for your interest and I hope you enjoy the cache!
