Geocache Description:

This cache is placed inside Fairhope's Municipal Park and Beach, the location of many jubilees throughout the decades. Non-residents may be charged a small park admission during the summer season. So bring your family, make a day of it and enjoy one of the most beautiful locations on Mobile Bay and along the Gulf Coast! You are searching for a container w/ a log only, so BYOP. Cell reception can be spotty in the area; I've provided the GZ in the hints.


JUBILEE!

"Jubilee is the name used locally for a natural phenomenon that occurs sporadically on the shores of Mobile Bay, a large body of water on Alabama's Gulf Coast. During a jubilee many species of crab and shrimp, as well as flounder, eels, and other demersal fish will leave deeper waters and swarm—in large numbers and very high density—in a specific, shallower coastal area of the bay. A jubilee is a celebrated event along the Eastern Shores of Mobile Bay, and it attracts large crowds, many drawn by the promise of abundant and easy-to-catch seafood. Although similar events have been reported in other bodies of water, Mobile Bay is the only place where the regular appearance of this phenomenon has been documented. The oldest recorded jubilee dates back to the 1860s." Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Bay_jubilee
