Geocache Description:

Bring a picnic during shipping season and watch the freighters go by. Difficulty to cache will depend on time of year / season and your choice of route. This is a park, entry fee or sticker required.

Nortorious bank robber Al Gonac, a.k.a. "Big Al", while on the run from the local authorities has hurriedly hid some loot from his latest "job" as well as some personal possessions. Big Al says this area reminds him of his home in Savannah.

Big Al appreciates you checking on his stash and makes the offer for you to take something for your reward. However, he would appreciate you leave something too. This is an offer you cannot refuse. (No edibles please! No gum!)

The cache is a one gallon (new) paint can with red plastic flip top lid. The size and contents limit what can be added. The can itself has been painted to aid in concealment. It lies on the ground, camouflaged, covered and should not visible.

Big Al would like to know who his friends are. Please enter your visit in the logbook. If you like...snap a picture or two of yourself / your group. Please place the camera back as you found it. Note the picture number(s) in the logbook. If you snap the last picture in the camera....please mention it in your posting.

Please return the cache to its covered, concealed & secure condition where you found it. Do not post pictures of the cache that will give away its hiding spot…or the cache hiding spot without the cache… or pictures of the hint, with your logged posting. Any logs or pictures that do will be deleted without notice.

HUNTING SEASON ADVISORY: Hunting is allowed in certain areas of the park during hunting season. To be in style and be safe, Big Al recommends wearing hunter orange when wandering the wooded areas during the hunting season.

ADDITIONAL INFO: While watching the freighters on the St Clair River & Lake Huron, they may occasionally "toot" their horn. Here's what the whistles mean: One whistle - Passing Starboard (right), Two whistles - Passing Port (left), Five or more short blasts - Danger, Three long & two short - Hello!, Incase of fog or poor visibility - Three short whistles every minute.
