This is one in a series of caches that I am placing in Rookery Bay. This is a wonderful place to paddle. I would also like to honor past and present geocachers that I have either paddled with or have placed paddle caches for me to find. I have found over a thousand kayak caches, so this is a big part of my geocaching experience. Caution should be used here. Never paddle alone. If you should have to stand, make sure that you have a solid bottom. There are places out here that are like quicksand. Insects can be a problem. The no-see-ums look forward to seeing you coming.
