I was standing on the observation deck here considering the cache
placement when a huge barge came up the river. It's amazing to me
how those pilots are able to move that much material up and down
that winding river and keep it in the middle. I had to clap for the
magnificent feat. Since I was standing up at the time I guess by
definition it was a standing ovation.
Cache can be found by boat.

Please read: Please stay on trails to

Some of the trails may be seasonally wet. Do
not disturb wildlife, or plants.
When finding this cache, please leave only
family friendly contents. These caches will likely be used for
educational purposes for GIS students and will introduce them to
the sport of Geocaching. Let's make a good impression.
As always remember Cache In Trash Out. I will
try to keep trash bags in the cache containers for your
use.
We currently have a great working
relationship with Metro Parks and the Shelby Bottoms Nature Center,
so please respect the park hours and the above guidelines when
searching so we can continue this.
Shelby Park and Bottoms is open 7 days a week
from daylight until dusk.
