TSYS Island Traditional Geocache

This cache is rated a 5 terrain because you'll have to wade or swim to it.

This cache is one of five caches designated as "RiverWalk." Complete all five in the GeoTour series and you qualify to receive the RiverWalk playing card designed especially for this challenge.

This cache is a medium size container

The cache is no walk in the park. Come prepared.

Above is the TSYS Campus, one of the largest credit card processing companies in the world. Down on the river are blue herrings and ducks. When hiding this cache we observed blue herrings nesting in the trees. It was amazing to watch these huge birds glide in, hover, then land gracefully atop these even larger nests.
