Geocache Description:

COE Bobber 5 is the fifth in a series of six geocachers at various lakes in the Corps of Engineers Albuquerque District. Bobber the Water Safety Dog is the Corps of Engineers Water Safety Program mascot. He appears in our water safety activity book which has lots of puzzles and mazes to do. Life jackets are important even in the winter months when Colorado has lost visitors on occasion to hypothermia. Bobber hopes you will always swim with a friend and never swim alone.

This is a reasonably easy-access cache. It is in a Rubbermaid, quart sized container with the Geocaching symbol on the top. Its contents started with a log book, lifejacket shaped beverage cozy, ranger badges, luggage tag, easy wash off temporary tattoos of one of Bobber’s water safety friends and a safety message, pen, and pencil. However, you should bring your own writing tool anyway. John Martin Reservoir is located 2 miles south of Hasty, Colorado on County Road 24.The Corps of Engineers invites you to explore and enjoy the many recreational opportunities that John Martin Reservoir have to offer, such as fishing, picnicking, camping, hiking, swimming, boating and water sports. Originally named Caddoa Dam and Reservoir, John Martin Dam and Reservoir was constructed for flood control and irrigation purposes in the southeast corner of Colorado. While under construction in 1940, the project name was changed to honor the late Congressman from Colorado, John A. Martin, who was instrumental in acquiring legislation for its building. John Martin Dam is located on the Arkansas River in Bent County, Colorado, approximately 58 miles upstream from the Colorado-Kansas border, and 1,159 miles upstream from the Arkansas River’s confluence with the Mississippi River. The dam and reservoir are about midway between the rural Colorado cities of Lamar and Las Animas.
