SLAGA Members Take on Tower Rock
Special to SLAGA
On Saturday, August 4, several SLAGA members and other local cachers took on Tower Rock by kayak. Your reporter is a little fuzzy on just how this amazing adventure came to pass. The logs, pictures and professional video (yes, really!) tell only part of the story. What we do know is that Gone2theDogs, Quailman2, McRob&the2Hero's and 60CGarsee invaded Tower Rock using kayaks provided by Gone2theDogs. Apparently Mr. Gone2theDogs made the trip out and back multiple times in order to individually accompany each of the other cachers - none of whom had previous kayaking experience.
We have it on good authority that Mrs. Quailman2 was feerless in the face of the climb up the vertical face of Tower Rock. We can believe that ;)
All of the cachers successfully found the traditional cache, La Roche de la Croix, on the top of tower rock. At the same time, the others also snagged Gone2theDogs' Earth cache, Tower Rock. Local historian, photographer and videographer Ken Steinhoff was on hand to record the proceedings for posterity. You can view his video and pictures on his web site.
Congratulations to all the cachers who made it to the top. And thanks to Ken Steinhoff for his coverage!
Really folks, you have to see this rock to believe it!
