Geocache Description:

This cache thanks and honors ones that have come before.  Thanks to Dauber49er for permission to replace “Mud & Bugs – Island”.  Honors to West Virginia Tim for inspiring me to create this cache, which requires more than just finding a micro in the woods.  Micros have their place, but not in a great place such as this.


The cache is located on a small island (maybe two) on the Rogue River. You will have to cross the river on foot, or take a kayak or tube to the island. River is 1-2 feet deep and about 20 feet across with a pretty good current. Please be careful, and only attempt if in good physical condition. The easiest: climb onto the island at the far south-east point down stream.  You can also cross the river and bushwack.  You'll cross the river, climb onto land, then make your way across another stream to find the cache.  This cache has the potential of being very muddy and very buggy, so come prepared.

Cache should be relatively easy to find, but the challenge will be in signing the log.  Everything you need is hidden in plain site.  Please insure that the cache is fully reset for the next to find before leaving the site. Force should not be required! Please leave your gorilla at home. Logic is the key!

Small parking area just east of bridge.

Please let me know if you feel the D/T rating should be adjusted, this one is tough if not sure-footed.

Congrats to drivebyandy for the FTF! He made quick work of this one on a very hot day.
