Geocache Description:

This was placed during the Gone EvilFishing Event on Aug 29th 2009.
I have been wanting to place another cache by my favorite lake, and in a area that I have not yet walked to..I had intended to call this cache along the lines of lazy fish or the sorts as there is not a large or selective amount of swag in this cache.

As Mtime Clover and I made our way to the cache site via climbing up the side of the dam after searching for the nearby cache. The batteries in my GPS were giving indications that they as well as I were running low so Mtime was going assist in the obtaining of cache coordinates. After finding a suitable location I hung my Garmin 60CS GPS on the upturned trunk and began clearing room for the ammo can, I wanted to move a rock to make a neat fit I gave the rock a push to move it away and was greeted by "You broke my GPS...You REALLY broke the GPS".. The Garmin eTrex Legend HCx had broken the momentum of the rock with its life.

The original contents are some remnants of the EvilFishing activity fishing line and fishes, along with a deck of cards from Bugles and some assorted swag donated by Mtime. I could no longer call this cache anything but what Mtime called it.

It was a somber walk back along the Dam to the spillway and a shorter climb, where I decided to fish for a few minutes before needing to get something to drink....
