Geocache Description:




The Brazos River is the 11th longest river in the United States at 1280 miles in length. The Brazos River starts at Blackwater Draw in New Mexico and ends in the Gulf of Mexico, making it the 11th longest river in the United States. With 840 miles in the state of Texas, that makes it the longest section of river in the state.

This part of the Upper Brazos, between Possum Kingdom Lake and Dark Valley Bridge offers some scenery that is most enjoyable, including some tall cliffs, and dense vegetation along the river banks. This gives way to flatter terrain and scrub brush. There are few other hazards on this river other than the winds and the hot Texas summertime temperatures and direct sun exposure - those can combine to cause dehydration and muscle fatigue, as well as sunburns and windburns. However, those negatives aside, the Brazos is the first river many people paddle, particularly because short, relatively safe trips can be taken without great fear of dangerous waters. If you fall out of the boat, then STAND UP!

Having made two canoe trips this past year, I found this little section of river and decided it was time to spread the joy I've had this year canoeing and placed several caches for cachers wanting to seek the joy I have found.

Have fun and at all times, Be Safe.

All property adjacent to the river is "PRIVATE PROPERTY". These caches can only be accessed legally from the river.
