Geocache Description:


It is full on Summer, and here in Georgia, that means HOT!

To combat that issue, an Ol' Timey River float is in order.

On 29 JULY 2017 at 2pm we will meet up under the awning at the listed coordinates, chat, eat some watermelon and watch people float past on the river below. Perhaps we will even see a Big Duck or two float past.

*** OPTIONAL *** ***UPDATED 27 JULY 2017 ***
At 11am we will be at the Put In point for a float down the river. It takes roughly 1 hour and 45 minutes to float straight through. This time is based on the river levels during the float. There have been some caches placed along the river, so figure an extra 30 to 45 minutes.  Any and all are welcome to join in on the float.

The river is very flat through this section and is suitable for Tubes, Floats, Kayaks and Canoes. The water is warm and much of the time you can stand up on the soft sandy bottom.

There is no fee for use of the facilities.

RECOMENDED:

  • Sun Screen
  • Hat
  • Water
  • Water Tight Container/Pouch

The entire event and OPTIONAL pre-event activities will be located within the boundries of Amerson River Park, 2551 North Pierce Drive, Macon, GA 31204

** You do not need to participate in the float to get the Smiley. Simply show up for the Meet-N-Greet from 2:00-2:30pm.
