Geocache Description:

NEVER CANCEL GEOCACHE CHALLENGE

Welcome to the Never Cancel Geocache Challenge (NCGC). This is one of 31 caches that were placed for a May, 2013 event. The event is over, but you can still take the challenge! More information about the event can be found here: http://coord.info/GC46YFX

First, grab a passport from the Contact Station as you enter the park. If the station is closed, try the Visitor Center. The passport explains the program and allows you to record your finds. Most caches in this series are micros – pill bottles, 35mm film canisters and bison tubes. There is one nano in the series. Bring your own pencil/pen to sign the log.

Each cache has a point value. Earn 15 points and receive a specially minted pin. There is a rubber stamp in each cache. Bring a felt marker to act as your stamp pad.

If you are taking the challenge, this cache is HARD and is worth 3 points.

The coordinates for this cache were taken on a heavily overcast day, so we added an orange marker to move you within a 15' diameter of ground zero.

Along the parks sandy beaches fossils may be found in abundance.  There are ancient scallop shells, large and small vertebrae and even an occasional shark's tooth.  Fossils may not be removed from the park, but there is a table downriver from this cache where you can display your discoveries.
