You are about to experience MaxB’s “Indiana Jones - on the St. Joseph River Cache Series.” This is one of Eight (8) caches you can find by enjoying a day on the scenic St Joseph River the entire series will take 3 to 5 hours. The next canoe/kayak landing down river from the last cache is in Buchanan, MI (13 miles by river) so plan accordingly.
Note: Poison Ivy is abundant at this cache location, so be prepared to take appropriate precautions.
The other caches in this series are:
- Raiders of the Lost Ark
- Sallah
- Temple of Doom
- Ophadiophobia
- Last Crusade
- Crystal Skull
- Bulls Eye
This cache will take you down the beautiful St Joseph River past undeveloped property and wildlife. We commonly see Deer, Geese, Great Blue Heron, Swans, Ducks, Otter, and last year we saw Bald Eagles on several occasions.
You will need a boat of some sort to complete this cache. (Canoe, kayak, motorboat). Even if you can find parking closer to the cache, we recommend against attempting to swim as the river has a strong current. We also suggest you always use a life vest (PFD) when boating on the river.
The property on both sides of the river is private property. This cache is on State waterway but not accessible from land without crossing Private property. ONLY for approach from the river. DO NOT CROSS PROPERTY FROM LAND TO ATTEMPT THIS CACHE.
The rating for this cache is based on the need for a watercraft. If this were in a park it would be a 1/2 rating.
