Geocache Description:

FTF!!!Congratulations to AussieCacher, DakGirl!, and Geoboss on FTF Honors!


The cache IS NOT located at listed coordinates. See instructions below for completing this adventure.

Where is George? The George referenced in this interrogative refers to Private George Shannon, the youngest member of Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery. Help Lewis and Clark find George Shannon, not only the youngest but clearly the least skilled in orienteering of the Corps of Discovery Expedition.

Pvt. George Shannon went missing from the Lewis and Clark Expedition on August 27, 1804. Travel through time and a small portion of the area to get clues from local historical figures as to Shannon's whereabouts. If you find the lost private, he may very well reward you with a clue to a final cache of goods... Or at least a cache.

To take part in this adventure you will need a Garmin Colorado, a Garmin Oregon, or a GPS enabled PocketPC with a Wherigo Player, or a smart phone with a WhereYouGo app. You can go to the Wherigo site to download the cartrige. Or click HERE

The Highlines Boat Ramp has a parking area and an ideal boat launching facility for the beginning of your Where's George - Goat Island tour.
