Delta Butter Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

SnoWake: Archiving this cache after an eventful history, but one that only resulted in three finds. I had intended to get back out there and replace it after I learned it went missing (AGAIN) - but that never happened, and now boating season is ramping down (for me, anyway). I'll have to come up with something MUCH better.

Geocache Description:

Centrally located between Discovery Bay, Orwood, Railroad, Twin Sloughs, and not far from ski beach, Victoria and Union Point.

This placement not only marks my first boat-in Delta cache, but also represents a "Fill In the Blanks" locationless, by being the first cache in the Woodward Island Quad Map.

This area is the hub of the Delta watersports scene - on a typical day, the nearby sloughs will be full of boats pulling wakeboarders, water skiers, wakeskaters, tubers... which is exactly why I don't ride down here too much! ;-)

Pull up and make the easy grab - tide and boat size will effect the reach, but I believe it will stay dry and be accesible at all times. The 5 terrain rating is based on the "special equipment" requirement for a boat - although roads do lead to very near the cache, the ferry to Woodward Island is for private use only. An EASY find from the water...
Original Contents of this water-themed cache included:
  • Log book and pens
  • Disposable camera (take picture and note exposures remaining)
  • Signature Gotwake thermometer-compass
  • Blue micro-capsure (I expect whoever takes this to place is for us all to hunt)
  • Pair of maracas from Cozumel
  • Slinky Jr.
  • SpongeBob SquarePants
  • Glow-in-the-dark superball
  • (2) Sunscreen towlettes
  • Toy Story Mutant Fishing Rod
  • Billy Blaze Smoke Jumper
  • Glowstick necklace
  • Harrah's Mardi Gras beads
  • ScoobyDoo clip-on
  • SpongeBob Water Game
  • Navy Corpsman TB

    If you ever decide you'd like to find this cache, but don't have access to a boat - just drop me a line, and we'll set something up!
