Seawell's Canal Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
In 1830, Lt. Washington W. Seawell of the United States Corps of Engineers developed a canal connecting Black Bayou and Red Bayou by cleaning out and improving a natural channel between the two bayous. This canal, later named after Lt. Seawell, allowed small riverboats to navigate around the Upper Red River raft by following Twelve Mile Bayou, Caddo Lake, Black Bayou, and Red Bayou. In 1873, when the Upper Red River raft was removed by U.S. Corps of Engineers, riverboats ceased using this route and followed the cleared Red River channel.
An easy park and grab. You are looking for a magnetic key holder. A small trinket is inside for the FTF. Also, there is a spot to pull off the road right at the cache.
Good luck and happy hunting!
CONGRATS to cole7873 the FTF!
