______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Unlike GC95KZ5, this cache has a more difficult terrain and will seasonally require wading to reach the cache.
During the winter, do not attempt to look for this cache. Even if it looks stable, ice is not always safe and you will have no way to estimate the depth of the water. This is a spring/summer/fall cache only.
Be sure to wear orange during hunting season.
