Geocache Description:

*BOAT REQUIRED* The cache is on Profit Island in the Mississippi River north of Baton Rouge. Look at the pictures for the suggested starting point. Wear blaze orange if you do this one during hunting season!

In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the aliens known as "the Prophets" lived in the Bajoran wormhole. You could call the wormhole "Prophet Island". Now, the Ferengi weren't worried about prophets; they were only interested in profits. So, if the Ferengi had a wormhole, it would be Profit Island. (Makes sense now, doesn't it?)

We launched from just south of the I-10 bridge in Baton Rouge (N30°26.284', W91°11.524'), but any launch will do. Once you get to Profit Island, I recommend going in from about N30°35.967', W91°17.451'. There is a small harbor-like area there and a path right at the top of the beach that leads to the main road across the island. It's a really nice (and very flat) walk across to the cache site.

If you need hints, you can use them one at a time. Each builds on the last.
