We placed this cache here to hopefully start a kind of wading trail. This is a lot harder than it looks. It seems close to the bank...but as I placed this cache I sank about 12" to 18 " in the slit or whatever is in the bottom. Some cachers may get wet, some get stuck hopefully the water decreases it might make it easier. oh yes trying to pull this cache to the bank we wish you goodluck, it is weighed down with a 75 lb. weight and no doubt stuck in the bottom.
