Good job, Jim. We will put it on our list. Looks like a walk in the park.

Is there something at the given coordinates, say a landmark or rock that someone could describe to prove they were there? If you keep it simple, more people will make the trek to do the cache in my opinion. From: junkmailno@xxxxxxxxxxx To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [GeoStL] What is the definition of a confluence or river mouth? Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2010 18:59:24 -0600 I am working on a Earth Cache overlooking the confluence of the IL and MS rivers with a great view that hopefully will be ready for the New Year Event. The theme is going to be where is the actual confluence. Since there are several islands at the confluence, where the “confluence” is actually is not exactly clear. Some say it is at Calhoun Point where the waters meet and some say it is 2 miles downstream in Grafton after the islands. I cannot find any kind of “official” definition. I did lots of googling but could not find anything I would call official or specific enough to determine where the confluence actually is. Does anyone know of a definition I could use? Thanks!
