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

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

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! Jim Bensman
