This cache series has been set up to remind people that even lonely two lane roads through a State Park can be dangerous. The caches are set up at various crash sites throughout the Park, most of which are wounded trees. Please approach these caches at your own risk, with the clear knowledge that each of these places have been involved in accidents at least once.
There is a good story on this one. We didn't even know an accident had occurred here until after Hurricane Ivan. The Park system hired a guy to run sonar in our lakes, looking for hurricane debris. When he got to town, he went to this location to test his equipment and immediately contacted the Park to let us know that there was a car in the water here. Divers were called in and the car was towed out, with everyone expecting the worst, but... no bodies were found.
The tag was ran and the owners were contacted. It turned out that the owners had gotten a little sauced one night and got in a fight. She decided to get even with him by driving his car and all his work tools into the waters of Gulf State Park.
The next day, they sobered up and she told him what she had done. The two of them made up and went on like nothing had ever happened for over a year, before the car was found.
This cache has potential to be difficult. Many different hiding places but only one of them holds the prize. It should be interesting to see what kind of responses we get on this one and how hard it turns out to be in reallity. . BE SAFE!

I hope you have enjoyed all the geocaches we have placed in Gulf State Park, along with the rest of your experience here Please consider giving us some feedback here. We would appreciate it if you would include something about your geocaching experience. We hope to show the bosses in Montgomery how many people geocache, in hopes that they will encourage other Parks to invest in it like we have, here at Gulf State Park. Thanks, Dothenumbers.
