Wow what a crazy time we had finding this one. It all started when we followed the light rail tracks becuase we thought that was the way to go. Well we found out we were wrong when we ended up with a 50 foot river in our path when we were 300 feet from the cache. Lucky us. SO what did we do we decided that we should make a raft and float across the river (pictures to come). Our raft was pitiful. We took three huge logs and tried tying them together with vines. DIdn't work out so hot. So we went to plan B. We walked out to an island in the middle of teh river becuase out to there wasn't so deep but when we reached the island we realized the rest of the way was 4 feet deep. We thought and thought about what to do to make it to the other side of the river. So I came up with the bright idea to swim the rest of the way but I didn't want to get my clothes wet so I decided to go buck naked. Now you have to remember that it is November 25th and the temperature outside was a mere 50 which means the water had to have been 35 degrees or so. It was cold to say the least. So I put all the stuff I needed in a bag and put them and my shoes over my head and started swimming accross. When i was almost there I slipped on a rock and my shoes dunked under. I made it thoguh and nothing else got wet. I dried myself with a shirt so I didn't get hypothermia which wasn't too far off and redressed myself. I put back on my wet shoes and nearly froze my feet off. I found the cache after about 5 minutes looking and made my way back to meet my friends, who wouldn't go across the river at the lightrail bridge. We got back in the car and made our way home. I needed a shower and a place to clean up all the cuts on my feet and legs from the rocks in the river. Took : baseball, Left: frog bookmark.
