Geocache Description:

A cache on a Huron River island. Best parking is at the waypoint below (Metroparks sticker or small admission fee required). Bring a pen and wear sturdy shoes! And please definitely post photos. Have fun!


Team FMA co-leader A has long despaired about the number of caches hidden on Huron River islands. Sure, there are plenty of canoe liveries around, and the Huron is definitely paddle friendly. A sees kayakers and canoeists all the time gliding along the still waters or navigating the small rapids.

Unfortunately, A is more the white-water rapids kind of paddler. Canoes and kayaks tremble in fear when she approaches and, should she deem to ride in one, they tend to capsize. Out of fear, of course. Never due to A's paddling skills.

This has not kept A from wondering how on earth to get to those island caches. She and team member N finally went after one... by wading. The water was cool and chest high, with a good current, but definitely wadeable. So the gears began turning in A's scheming mind, and thus was born Wade a Minute!

This cache is approachable by canoe or kayak, for those who want to do island caches the traditional way. It's also available to those who wish to wade (then again, so are all the island caches, we suppose). Once you're on the island, just follow the coordinates to the cache! But wade a minute... would it really be that easy?

Please bring a pen or pencil, as there is no room for one in the cache. Please also put the cache back where you found it so that others can enjoy the search. This was designed to be winter friendly as well, but that of course depends on what you call "friendly." Please let us know when the logsheet is full!

Congratulations to tessandfriends on their FTF!
