Geocache Description:

A regular cache, camo coffee can, near the banks of the Colorado River. A good place for Geo Coins and TBs. CITO site. Bring a bag to remove trash around the area. Carry out and clean up what you can (CITO. This needs trash removal in the worst way. Use paved boat ramp to get to general area.

This is the camp site of the Mexican General Santa Anna on the night of March 24 (19-25), 1836. On the oppisite bank of the Colorado River was the rag tag army of the new Repbulic of Texas led by Sam Houston in retreat. Houston had said, "On the Colorado River, I will make my stand." But no, he was going to San Jacinto, where he and this battered army would give the great State of Texas its new republic of freedom on April 21, 1836.. History was to be made. There is a moderate amount of walking over uneven terrain. When found, please sign log, seal, and replace as found to prevent muggles.
