CACHE IS NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES!
The previous hide in this location was titled "Cache 'em If I Can (GC79A7N)". We were alerted to its demise by a Minnesota famous cacher who was out collecting stars. We were pretty confused by this event because the previous hide was seriously anchored down and we presumed it was intentional act. But as we arrived on GZ to check out the situation, we figured out that it most likely was a natural act: the beacon it was attached to broke in half, and the water came up and washed it away. This should be a good reminder to all of us how powerful this river is and approach it with a healthy bit of safety in mind. We placed a new cache here, but it's changed a bit, so here's a new puzzle to go along with the theme.
Placed with permission from the Anoka County Parks Department. Geocaching may only occur during normal park hours (6:00 AM until 30 minutes after sunset).
Please note - this cache is in a potentially dangerous location and seeking it is done at your own risk! Legal entry points (PWAs) are provided, other entry points may be considered trespassing on private property. The terrain rating reflects the need to travel a significant distance on water. I strongly recommend against doing this one during winter, I doubt the ice would ever be thick enough here.
