CONGRATS TO TheCachin8tor FOR THE FTF!!!

I'm not sure if this island has a name (maybe I should claim it and call it TGB island), but it's in Rifle Gap State Park.  You will need a boat (unless you are an olympic swimmer) to get to this cache.

There was a $7 fee the day I went to enter the park.  The cache is on the south side of the island.  I received permission to hide this cache from the park.  However, they said they will throw it away if it is left out looking like trash.  Therefore, please hide it EXACTLY as it was found.  The cache was a camo'd plastic container that is a little smaller than an ammo can. However, that is probably floating in Lake Powell somewhere now. So I replaced it (hopefully temporarily) with a magnetic micro. BYOP

There was a significant amount of prework associated with this find. I first saw it on the GPS 3 years ago from my motorcycle. So this year, being here in the camper with a canoe, I was ready For everything except zero phone service. I had to drive into Rifle to get The coordinates. So for the second time today I launched my canoe and braved the 30 MPH gusts and the wake surf boats and came and got it. It will be good to be able to sleep tonight.
