Geocache Description:


This cache is one of several located along the roads that wend through the Lollie Bottoms area. Three of the 78 historical schools that once existed in Faulkner County were located along this stretch of road.

From GZ you will have a view to the west and northwest of a portiion of the 7.1 mile long Lollie Levee. It was constructed in 1929 after the devastating floods of 1927 which submerged the city of Conway to the east. In June 2019, the Arkansas River rose to unprecidented heights and breached levees up and down the river. Though severely eroded, and within just feet of being overtopped, the Lollie Levee held, protecting not only Conway, but also all the homes and property in low-lying areas to the east. From the picture above you can see just how close the levee was to failing in 2019.

You are looking for a small snap-top tube hidden in a traditional manner and in a very familiar location for such hides. It should be easy to find, and you will not have to enter any of the wooded area. Though you can pull off the roadway near GZ, traffic there is sometimes heavy, and there is danger. So be careful. 

Remember that this is Arkansas, and dangerous critters and plants of all sorts can be present at certain times of the year. So BE CAREFUL!

Put the container back just as you found it so it will be fun for others. And should you see any trash, take a moment to practice CITO.

If there are any problems with the cache, please let me know.
