Geocache Description:

Small container in FULL CAMO, AT the above cache page coordinates, but can ONLY be found and logged if the rules listed below are followed:

Rules to log this cache:
1. Log ("Retrieve," "Grab," or "Discover" {"Write Note" won't work} so they appear in your inventory) at least 100 total trackables (TBs).

2. Any and all TBs you have logged in the past count.

3. TBs you own DO NOT count.

4. You may seek the cache and put your name on the log before you qualify, but you may not log it as a find on the cache page until you qualify and have physically found it.

5. All finds will be quickly verified by checking the "Trackables Logged" section on your profile page, but you must also include that number in your "Found It" log.

That's it!

This cache is one in a series of caches dedicated to showing where the shore for the Auburn Lake would be if the dam were built. The surface of the lake would be 1,100 ft in elevation, from the overlook in Auburn to many miles up both the middle and north forks of the American River canyon. Needless to say, there are MANY areas caches in this series can be placed. Which is why I'm inviting any cachers who would like, to join me and place caches in this series. Make sure it's close to 1,100 ft elevation. I am allowing myself and others +/- 100 vertical feet due to the fact that good cache locations can sometimes be hard to find. If you choose to place one for this series, please email me a day or two in advance and I'll let you know which number yours will be, which should help avoid duplicates. Just name your cache "Shoreline #x" where x would be the next number in the series. This is the thirty-first in the series, and it's close to where the dam itself would be, as you will see from the trail to the cache site.

Congrats to graniteman84 for FTF!
