Geocache Description:

See Related Web Page for Wateree River Recreational Releases

You are looking for a matchstick holder. I could not hide a larger container and it not get muggled or washed away so I placed a micro. However, there is a good hint provided to help find the cache with less trouble.

The best way to complete the Wateree River Run Series is to put in at the Dam reference point and take out at the #1/601 bridge. This is a little over a seven mile stretch of river. The first 2.3 miles you may encounter class 1-2 rapids.

Caution: Water levels on the river can change quickly and without notice. Please be aware of this before attempting to find this or any other cache on the river. Difficulty of the hide can vary with the changes in the river.

Class 1: Very small rough areas, requires no maneuvering. (Skill Level: None)
Class 2: Some rough water, maybe some rocks, small drops, might require maneuvering.(Skill Level: Basic Paddling Skill
Class 3: Whitewater, medium waves, maybe a 3–5 ft drop, but not much considerable danger. May require significant maneuvering.(Skill Level:Experienced paddling skills)
Class 4: Whitewater, large waves, long rapids, rocks, maybe a considerable drop,sharp maneuvers may be needed.(Skill Level: Whitewater Experience)
Class 5: Whitewater, large waves, continuous rapids, large rocks and hazards,maybe a large drop, precise maneuvering(Skill Level: Advanced Whitewater Experience)
Class 6: Whitewater, typically with huge waves, huge rocks and hazards, huge drops, but sometimes labeled this way due to largely invisible dangers (e.g., a smooth slide that creates a near-perfect, almost inescapable hydraulic(see 'Holes' below),as at Woodall Shoals or Chattooga).
Class 6 rapids are considered hazardous even for expert paddlers using state-of-the-art equipment, and come with the warning "danger to life or limb."(Skill Level: Expert)
