Geocache Description:

You seek an ammo can along the Econ, roughly halfway between Hwy
50 and the Seminole County line. Please try to avoid getting eaten
by alligators. When you find the cache, you'll see that it rests
between some hidden cypress knees. Please return it to that
location, so it doesn't fall in the water. Paddle when the water is
high and you won't have to fight as many logs. Good luck!


(An adaptation of a popular TV show theme song, describing
the travels of Clan Riffster, Stray Goose, Kleetus and his
daughter, Purty-gurly.)


Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,

A tale of a fateful trip

That started at an RV park

Aboard four tiny ships.


The group had a mix of paddling skills,

From pro to not so well.

Four paddlers set sail that day

For eight hours of pure hell, for eight hours of pure hell.


The water started getting rough,

The plastic boats were tossed,

If not for the batteries in our GPS

Us idiots would be lost, us idiots would be lost.


So this is the tale of the hapless few,

whose trip took many a mile,

If you follow in their paddle strokes,

Expect to earn your smiles.


The cachers who explored this creek,

Had done their very best,

To make sure you'd be miserable,

During this torturous quest.


No phone, no snacks, no skeeter spray,

Not a single luxury,

Like most of my ill conceived journeys,

As primitive as can be.


So head down stream at least one time,

You'll end up sore and weak,

Like four decrepit paddlers,

Down on The Econ Creek.
