Geocache Description:

You will need a kayak, canoe or rowboat to access this cache, which is located in a marshy area on the northeast side of Otsego Lake. The name speaks for itself.


Your map might show that this cache is on solid land but, trust me, it is not!  Entrance to the marsh is from Otsego Lake.  When I placed the cache, fish were jumping, red-winged blackbirds were trilling and a chorus of frogs were in full-throated song.  The water level is high and if it gets higher, this cache may disappear. But----a drier summer is predicted (for what that's worth) and I hope the cache and island remain above water and/or in the same location (there are smaller floating muck islands) for folks willing to brave a few skeeters to get a smiley and to admire  the beauty of the area.

You will need to bring your own writing instrument.

I have made no attempt to conceal the container, which is actuallly small, not a micro. It should be an easy spot and grab.

Why no attempt at concealment? I think you'll figure out why when you are there.  I love marshes, but I don't want to spend a lot of time backing and turning and reaching and risking a tip over marshy waters.
