Geocache Description:

Welcome to Kelso Conservation Area

This could be a tricky cache to spot.  You are looking for a Bison Tube, covered in black tape, hanging over the water in the branches of a willow tree.  Cache Is Not Kayak Friendly, and you will have to stand in a canoe to retrieve.  This cache is best retrieved from a paddle board.  How is your balance?
