Geocache Description:

This is a night cache.  You will start looking for the reflective markers at the navigational sign (additional waypoint/coordinates given). 


For this holiday season we, Fanasfreaks and Davidandbritt, wanted to do something special for all our fellow caching friends. We wanted to give a geo-gift that would continue giving for quite some time. After over three months of paddling, our gift was complete. We hope you enjoy it!!! Have Fun!!!


 

This cache is one of 100 stand alone caches placed on Lake Lanier as a Christmas gift to our fellow geocachers.  Each of the 100 caches contains a letter/number combination.  Make sure to write those down.  You will need those to solve the 5/5 Island Madness Challenge Cache.


This is a night cache located on the island that the posted coordinates have you going to.  So don't worry we won't have you jumping from island to island looking for a cache.  Well at least at night.  When you start looking keep the following in mind.
 

-Yellow reflector is at the starting point
-1 reflector= go straight
-2 reflectors=turn either right or left
-3 reflectors=near fina
l


The route that you are going on will be one that will keep you out of the really thick vegetation.   You will travel along relatively cleared paths.  Some of the deadfall was even moved to the side so you can move a little easier.  Can thank the nicer of the two of us. 

Don't bother looking on the ground or knee level for the markers.  They range in height from about 5 feet off the ground to 8 feet or so-or as high as we could reach.

As you near the final, you may even be lucky enough to see a becon from our lighthouse to guide you toward the final.  Good thing it was there, seeing as we lost our flashlight just as we were getting done putting out the cache.  Maybe you will be able to find it.  We noticed some bats and scorpions hanging out near the cache.  Don't worry, they were friendly and helped us out. 


Happy caching!!!!!!!!


Congrats to Beretta123 for the FTF!!!!
